{"product_id":"home-computers","title":"Home Computers: 100 Icons that Defined a Digital Generation","description":"\u003cp\u003eAs so much technology is forgotten once it is superseded, this is a celebration of machines, industrial design and techno-utopianism of an era in the not-so-distant past. Conceived as a visual sourcebook of the most popular, most powerful and most idiosyncratic computers to grace our workspaces, this timely publication offers a reflection on how far we’ve come and a nostalgic look at a time when digital worlds could be contained in a box and turned off, rather than ever-present in our lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHome Computers opens with a scene-setting retrospective by computer and gaming writer Alex Wiltshire. The book’s heart is a series of specially commissioned photographs that capture details of switches and early user-interface design, letterforms and logos, and the quirks that set one computer off from another. Images are complemented by a potted history of each device, the inventors or personalities behind it, and its innovations and influences.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePages: 256\u003cbr\u003eDimensions: 210 × 246 mm\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003eYear: 2020\u003cbr\u003eDesign: Johanne Lian Olsen\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Thames \u0026amp; Hudson\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Thames \u0026 Hudson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32879214559317,"sku":"MTHC322","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0491\/5749\/products\/1_c18c526a-15b7-4622-a0d3-429c31bc0b69.jpg?v=1605628242","url":"https:\/\/www.northeastshop.com\/en\/products\/home-computers","provider":"North East","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
