Essays on early computers

Digital Deli (1984), edited by Steve Ditlea, put together by a group called “The Lunch Group & Guests.” It’s an early-personal-computing-era anthology — essays, interviews, and miscellany on computer culture, lore, and lifestyles from the dawn of the PC boom, published right around when Apple, IBM, and Commodore were all fighting for the living room. The cover’s a classic of the era: a sandwich made of circuit boards, resistors, a floppy disk, and a chip instead of meat and cheese.
