This book, published in 1980 at the dawn of the microprocessor age, describes the microprocessor from a technical and societal standpoint. It aims to debunk various myths that sprung up around microprocessors. From the blurb: 'DON'T BE FOOLED BY TECHNOFEAR Will silicon chips revolutionise our lifestyles, turn industry upside down and create mammoth unemployment? Will they dominate our future? Or are microprocessors just the latest gimmicky showpiece of an expanding technology. The latest refinement of computer science - vital - but in a limited field? THE MYTH OF THE MICRO takes you behind the extravagant theories to the heart of the technology itself. DON'T LET A MICROCHIP SCARE YOU UNTIL YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT IT IS...' The book was written by Ian Williamson and Rodney Dale, both of whom have previously been trustees of the Centre for Computing History. They have both signed the first page.
