VCF East XI -- Ted Nelson

Another interesting thing to view is the recently published video of his talk at Vintage Computer Festival East XI (1). The idea of text being treated as paper makes perfect sense to me. Unfortunately, it can be incredibly messy to explain the concept to others. My best current analogy is citations linking paper to paper all at once. Without more software, or a better analogy, it's difficult to preach the merits to others. I think this is a step in the right direction. [1] - ▶ this video

Like Computer Lib / Dream Machines, where you flip it over backwards to get the other book! ;) And of course the Microservices section should be really thin, while the Monolith section is extremely thick. Like PopeDotNinja pointed out, you can just flip the book over when one approach starts to peak. link ▶ this video >VCF East XI -- Ted Nelson: Ted Nelson designed the Xanadu hypertext software and wrote the two-in-one personal computing book, Computer Lib / Dream Machines, in 1974. His work deeply influenced the personal computing revolution. Ted earned two Ph.D.s and penned several other well-regarded academic papers and books about ethical, historical, and moral issues in computing. link >Computer Lib/Dream Machines is a 1974 book by Ted Nelson, printed as a two-front-cover paperback to indicate its "intertwingled" nature. Originally self-published by Nelson, it was republished with a foreword by Stewart Brand in 1987 by Microsoft Press. >In Steven Levy's book Hackers, Computer Lib is described as "the epic of the computer revolution, the bible of the hacker dream. [Nelson] was stubborn enough to publish it when no one else seemed to think it was a good idea."
