{"product_id":"home-computers-wiltshire-alex-hardback","title":"Home Computers - Wiltshire, Alex - Hardback","description":"\u003cp\u003eAs so much technology is forgotten once it is superseded, this is a celebration of machines, industrial design and techno-utopianism of an era in the not-so-distant past. Conceived as a visual sourcebook of the most popular, most powerful and most idiosyncratic computers to grace our workspaces, this timely publication offers a reflection on how far we've come and a nostalgic look at a time when digital worlds could be contained in a box and turned off, rather than ever-present in our lives. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHome Computers opens with a scene-setting retrospective by computer and gaming writer Alex Wiltshire. The book's heart is a series of specially commissioned photographs that capture details of switches and early user-interface design, letterforms and logos, and the quirks that set one computer off from another. Images are complemented by a potted history of each device, the inventors or personalities behind it, and its innovations and influences.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Thames \u0026 Hudson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56032070271354,"sku":"THAMES-9780500022160","price":23.74,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0916\/9970\/8282\/files\/Home-Computers-Wiltshire-Alex-Hardback.jpg?v=1760626387","url":"https:\/\/zatu.com\/en-us\/products\/home-computers-wiltshire-alex-hardback","provider":"Zatu Games","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
