Summary
The GUI Awakening (1973–1999): The First Church of the Interface When screens became mirrors and the cursor turned into a wand, humanity entered the age of the Interface. The GUI Awakening traces the rise of the personal computer as a spiritual revolution—where Apple, Microsoft, and Xerox PARC became the hidden architects of digital faith. Icons became hieroglyphs, windows became portals, and the act of clicking became ritual. From the myth of the mouse to the cult of the click, this poetic history explores how design, desire, and divinity merged in the birth of the modern interface.Book information
