Ted Nelson Signed Book: Literary Machines, Edition 90.1 Signed book: Literary Machines, Edition 90.1 by Ted Nelson. Sausalito, CA: Mindful Press, 1990. Softcover, 7.75 x 8.5. Signed and inscribed on the back cover in red felt tip, "For Donna, with best wishes, Ted Nelson, 93.2.25." In very good to fine condition, with a tape-repaired edge tear to the cover. Literary Machines is Nelson's fleshed-out concept for a networked hypertext system. An actual software implementation was attempted by Autodesk in the late 1980s and early 1990s, before the later and partly-competing concept of the World Wide Web gained traction. Nelson first self-published Literary Machines in 1981, releasing nine more versions by 1993. The front cover boasts: "This book describes the legendary and daring Project Xanadu, an initiative toward an instantaneous electronic literature; the most audacious and specific plan for knowledge, freedom and a better world yet to come out of computerdom; the original (perhaps the ultimate) Hypertext System. Do not confuse it with any other computer book."
