Back in the 1990s, floppy disks "had a mere capacity of 1.44MB," remembers XDA Developers, "which would soon become absolutely tiny for the increasingly large pieces of software that would come about."

Уильяму Гибсону удалось стать редким автором, который кодифицировал целый жанр — пусть уже витавший в воздухе — одной конкретной книгой. Летом 1984-го он выпустил свой первый роман «Нейромант». Книга без какой бы то ни... Read more ›
