Wojciech Orliński, the author of the acclaimed Lem biography, this time introduces us to Paul Baran, an engineer born in Grodno, Poland, who convinced American generals to invest in his revolutionary idea. It was Baran who developed the technical foundations of the Internet, and the first network connection was established in California in 1969.

Baran not only created the Internet, but also worked on the construction of the first commercial UNIVAC computer, the first cruise missile, and the birth of Hi-Fi technology. His visions were ahead of their time - he foresaw video conferencing, online shopping, and the proliferation of private interactive devices with access to huge knowledge databases such as laptops and smartphones. What's more, Baran was aware of the threats to privacy and democracy that the Internet entails.

“I like to combine a real journey with an imaginary one. In reality, I simply drove the eight towards Białystok, as thousands of drivers do every day. In my imagination, however, I was already a pop culture hero setting off to Sudovia in search of traces of the engineer Baran,” writes Wojciech Orliński, paying tribute to this extraordinary man.
