Summary

Imagine a time before everyone stared at a screen; before fonts, icons, mice, and laser printers; before Apple and Microsoft....

But behind the scenes, Xerox engineers were dreaming and inventing the modern personal computer.

Who were these people who changed the world, and why did corporate management just want to sell copiers and printers?

Albert Cory was one of the engineers charged with making that dream a reality and unknowingly starting a revolution. Inventing the Future is based on the true story of the Xerox Star, the computer that changed everything.
