Examines the US Defense Department's Advanced Research Projects Agency during its heyday, and the impact it had on developments in computer science and engineering. Analyzes the management of the office, the origins and growth of important programs, and the interaction of the staff with the academic and industrial research and development communities. Emphasizes the agency's Information Processing Techniques Office role in executing cutting-edge research, and shows how by the 1990s the results had been assimilated into practical use in both military and civilian society.
