Cyber Surfers: Pirates on the Internet
For Our Daily Challenge 3/23/11, "Vintage". Cybersurfers was a series of 4 kids' books written in 1995 and '96 by Ted Pedersen & Mel Gilden. I know it's not "old" in the grand sense, but technology moves so fast that something written about it in '95 is vintage, in a sense. The series follows the adventures of two 14 year olds as they explore the wonders of the World Wide Web at the very start of its mainstream existence. It offers a fascinating look at the excitement and wonder of the Web in its earliest days.
I also took a shot of the glossary in the back which other nerds will get a kick out of.
(Looks great on black.)
