the long version

Vannevar Bush was a professor at MIT best known for his work in analog computing carried out in the 1930s. He led high profile projects such as the Rockefeller differential analyzer and famously sketched out a speculative model for information retrieval called Memex, which many now see as an early conceptual pre-cursor to hypertext. This edition compiles an overview of his work, his influential 1945 essay, 'As We May Think', as well as other essays on Memex, alongside several critical analyses of his contributions.
