(It sort of feels like an odd, physical manifestation of Spaces in Mac OS.)
The last spread, with the dot-matrix printer is pretty cute, although the message feels a bit creepy? You can drag it over for a bit of closure. GOODBYE, HUMAN. YOU WILL LEARN TO HATE ME AS WE GROW OLDER TOGETHER_pic.twitter.com/sWhjSUYCbn
That’s it! I’m oddly fascinated by it. Today, it feels like one clumsy artifact talking about another clumsy artifact. But how did it feel in 1984? The home computers were pretty high tech then, of course, but I imagine this book must have been awkward from day one?pic.twitter.com/53aTaAnoE4

That’s an interesting observation. It reminds me of a few printed touch typing manuals for computers I have, from before people realized computers can teach typing themselves, with Mavis Beacon and so on.https://twitter.com/nerpulus/status/1015659935978459136 …

I just realized that this book is 3D, so I can also look at the backs of machines. The red cables and power switches did not disappoint.pic.twitter.com/6RyJBMs0Ka

It’s awesome that people are reporting back remembering actually using this! For the record: “Idea by Robert E. Abrams and Sharon Gallagher Airbrush illustration by Wayne McLoughlin Line drawings by Christopher Finch”https://twitter.com/eugenievt/status/1015664559099731970 …

Most importantly, the paper engineering is credited to Ron Van Der Meer, who is a big name in the (surprisingly large) world of popup engineering. I started making a list of professional paper engineers a year or two ago, there have been dozens.
PS Here's my list of paper engineers, currently a very rough work-in-progress. Of course some of these creators will have been much more successful/prolific (and therefore interesting?) than others.
This is amazing. Maybe could be a Wikipedia page, too?
Hi again. I think this site is more current (and visual) than a Wikipedia list could be: http://www.bestpopupbooks.com/pop-up-book-authors/ …. & Duncan Birmingham has an amazing set of analytical videos on the theory, which also show published and historical examples for inspiration:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCx2M2bGHtXBszG6tuR_NIbQ …
