History of the Internet

I'm fascinated by the rise of the internet, social networks and internet culture. Ever since creating my first website in the '90s and joining LiveJournal in 2001, I've loved seeing how people showcase their own personality online.

This list includes any books that I think add to that knowledge of how the Internet became the way it is.
