Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, a diverse group of teachers and students working together on academic computing systems conducted many of the activities we now recognize as personal and social computing. Joy Rankin draws on detailed records to explore how users exchanged messages, programmed music and poems, fostered communities, and developed computer games like The Oregon Trail. These unsung pioneers helped shape our digital world, just as much as the inventors, garage hobbyists, and eccentric billionaires of Palo Alto.

Title is misleading

You might think that this book is about the history of computing in the United States but in fact it talks about the history of time sharing systems and early computer networks in the 1960-70s. It does a good job of focusing on those elements of computing history. If you are interested in those things and that time period, I recommend this book.
