Fred Turner on Rhetorical Prototypes & failure of social innovations

"Mind" blowin' audio talk on counter-cultures, communes, and possible failure theories of
Left Politics since 1968....

Fred Turner explores this extraodinary and ironic transformation by tracing the previously untold story of a highly influential group of San Francisco Bay–area entrepreneurs who made the connections between San Francisco “flower power” and the emerging technological hub of Silicon Valley. Thanks to their vision, counterculturalists and technologists alike joined together to reimagine computers as tools for personal liberation, the building of virtual and decidedly alternative communities, and the exploration of bold new social frontiers.
