Yet some questioned “why anyone would want such a thing” when the idea was first introduced.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart history, part memoir and part cultural study, \u003ci\u003eNetwork Geeks\u003c\/i\u003e charts the creation of the Internet and the establishment of the Internet Engineering Task Force, from the viewpoint of a self-proclaimed geek who witnessed these developments first-hand. With boundless enthusiasm and abundant humour, Brian Carpenter leads the reader on a journey from post-war Britain to post-millennium New Zealand, describing how the Internet grew into today’s ubiquitous, global network, including the genesis of the World-Wide Web in the hotbeds of a particle collider at CERN. Illuminating the science and technology behind the apparent “magic trick” of the Internet, \u003ci\u003eNetwork Geeks\u003c\/i\u003e opens a window into the initially bewildering world of the Internet engineering geek.
