THE MEME BOOK FROM THE '80s: The Internet. Before the Internet.

By Nuno Mendes

What if the Internet had been invented in the 1980s?

No smartphones.
No Wi-Fi.
No social media.

Just fax machines, floppy disks, CRT monitors, corded phones... and very big hair.

THE MEME BOOK FROM THE '80s takes the Internet we know today and sends it forty years into the past.

What would Working From Home look like in 1985?
How would you Delete Your Browsing History before browsers existed?
What happens when your Algorithm decides you really, really like cats?
And what exactly did Airplane Mode mean before smartphones?

From Low Battery and Typing... to Friend Requests, Influencers, Artificial Intelligence, Screen Time and some of the Internet's most recognizable meme formats, everything gets a gloriously unnecessary 1980s makeover.

Retro computers.
Fax machines.
Polaroids.
Neon.
Bad hair.
Questionable technology.

The Internet. Before the Internet.

A funny, visual coffee-table and gift book for meme lovers, Internet addicts, '80s nostalgics, coworkers, geeks, Gen X, Millennials - and anyone who remembers a time when going offline was simply called leaving the house.

No Wi-Fi required.
