I was re-reading part or Theodore Roszak's _The Cult of Information_ and was reminded of a criticism of David Graeber's synopsis about how Apple computers got started in contrast to how corporation generally work... Thanks to Roszak's mention of the 'Homebrew Computer Club' and Menlo Park, I'm catching up on the details that Graeber got wrong but the main contrast seems right.
