从反传统文化到网络文化：数码乌托邦主义的兴起
by Yan
MediaBerkman 是最近发现的一个好 podcast，很多有趣的东西。最近有个 talk by Fred Turner of Stanford University on “From Counterculture to Cyberculture: the Rise of Digital Utopianism“，你看你看，这些词都是我感兴趣的。记下来，别忘了看。
In the early 1960s, computers haunted the American imagination. Bleak tools of the cold war, they embodied the rigid organization and mechanical conformity that made the military industrial complex possible. But by the 1990s—and the dawn of the Internet—computers represented a very different kind of world: a collaborative and digital utopia modeled on the communal ideals of the hippies who so vehemently rebelled against the cold war establishment in the first place.Fred Turner explores this extraordinary and ironic transformation by tracing the previously untold story of a highly influential group of San Francisco Bay–area entrepreneurs who made the connections between San Francisco “flower power” and the emerging technological hub of Silicon Valley. Thanks to their vision, counterculturalists and technologists alike joined together to reimagine computers as tools for personal liberation, the building of virtual and decidedly alternative communities, and the exploration of bold new social frontiers.

对不起，发多了一个，形成了垃圾TRACKBACK了。
交换一下LINK？
好啊好啊，很久没动连接了。
嗯，我也把链接更新了呢。
“我很想变成跟他一样的塞克”，塞克啥意思啊？
塞克据说就是科学blog的意思。
晕, 露天长途二轮驱动男
这个名字很帅啊
赛客, 我就得以前在gezhi里还有人提起过
嘿嘿，路上有惊慌是前无古人命名小女巫。
不过我的名字不够帅啊，不满意。
啊，那好吧，改天给你改过一个名字！：）
[…] 上次推荐的那个 Podcast 里面做报告的人 Fred Turner 写了一本书叫：From Counterculture to Cyberculture: Stewart Brand, the Whole Earth Network, and the Rise of Digital Utopianism，以 Stewart Brand 为线索，分析了从 Counterculture 到 Cyberculture 的发展脉络。这个 Stewart Brand 真是个大牛牛牛牛，看看他的 bio，他居然做过这么多有趣，重要的事情。要想好好介绍一下他，需要很长一段时间来消化。先列列关键词：LSD，Astronomia，Ken Kesey，Merry Pranksters，Neal Cassady，Acid Test Graduation，Whole Earth Catalog，Whole Earth Software Catalog，The WELL (Whole Earth ‘Lectronic Link)，Kevin Kelly，The Hackers Conference，MIT Media Laboratory，Global Business Network，Santa Fe Institute，Electronic Frontier Foundation，The Long Now Foundation ⋯⋯ […]
真是个大牛牛牛牛
Its such as you read my thoughts! You seem to grasp so much about this, like you wrote the ebook in it or something. I believe that you just can do with a few percent to drive the message house a bit, however other than that, this is great blog. A great read. I’ll certainly be back.
