I totally have this awesome Osborne book: io9.com/5801941/in-197… I think @moleitau had it too. Explains a lot.

@tomcoates @moleitau My favorite part of that illustration is "Telephone has TV as well as *sound*".

@tomcoates I had a copy as well. Built a science fair exhibit out of Lego based on its depiction of monorails.

@ryanchris @moleitau Seriously?! That's awesome. A generation of nerds inspired by one slightly dubious book.

@tomcoates @ryanchris @moleitau Usborne definitely defined a generation. I remember their machine code book as well (!)

@antimega @tomcoates @ryanchris @moleitau Count me in as well. Matter of fact, that's the book that taught me the word "brutalism" at 11.

@tomcoates For me, it was that book plus reading about Xanadu House in a copy of Futurist Magazine in 1984.

@tomcoates @ryanchris @moleitau It was also the inspiration for a rather huge party: http://timoni.org/party

@agpublic that's fantastic. I didn't truly appreciate "brutalism" til I got to Berlin.

@ryanchris Of course, I had a free subscription to Futurist 'cause of the essay competition I'd won! http://flic.kr/p/6GZan
