This book is a compilation of a manga article from the 48th issue of The Spectator, published in 2021, depicting the relationship between personal computers and hippies. It explores how two seemingly completely different cultures, the hippie culture of the 1960s and the subsequent birth of the personal computer, came together, and reveals its unknown origins by focusing on the drama of the people who were passionate about the birth of the personal computer, when, where and how the two different cultures intersected. This is an interesting book that explores the origins of the personal computer from multiple perspectives, such as the social background of the time, counterculture, and spiritual culture.
