11. The Thing Under The Glacier,Brian Aldiss, 1963 “Instinctively [Jed] switched over to his miniputer to review the situation. It was a simple thing to do. Many of the parts of the miniputer were synthetic bio-chemical units, their “controls” built into Jed’s aural cavity; he “switched on” by simple neural impulse. At once the mighty resources of the machine, equal to the libraries of the world, billowed like a curtain on the fringes of his brain … Its “voice” came into his mind, filling it with relevant words, figures, and pictures.”

15. “Now the idea is this: To give you a screen in your home from which you can see into the world’s hypertext libraries. (The fact that the world doesn’t have any hypertext libraries – yet – is a minor point) To give you a screen system that will offer high-performance computer graphics and text services at a price anyone can afford. … To make you part of a new electronic literature and art, where you can get all your questions answered and nobody will put you down.” Ted Nelson, Computer Lib/Dream Machines, 1974
