Counter-Culture Created Silicon Valley

Ever wonder why Silicon Valley developed in Northern California and not around such old line institutions as MIT? Well the author of a new book reviewed in today's Christian Science Monitor has one answer... Sex, Drugs, and Rock and Roll. John Markoff posits that it was the 60's counter-culture and the access to acid that gave some of the founders of the modern computer industry their inspiration. It's an interesting look into the environment that spawned innovation and changed the world for all of us.
