Alex Santoso's Comments

Sorry, Bibi - until you told me about it, I didn't even know that you (and Hanan from grow-a-brain) have blogged about it. I actually got this from an email, without attribution for the link. It's corrected now on the post.

The website is for Mary Baker Eddy Library, which appears upon further digging to be part of the Christian Science Publishing Society.

"The Mary Baker Eddy Library for the Betterment of Humanity is housed in an 11-story structure originally built for The Christian Science Publishing Society. Constructed between 1932 and 1934, the neoclassical style building, with its renowned Mapparium, has become an historic landmark in Boston's Back Bay."

Sorry to hear about your grandma though, silver lining.

I think the earliest sci-fi featuring an internet-like entity is Neuromancer by William Gibson (1984).

Wikipedia has a neat list of fictional computers mentioned science-fiction novels.

While we're at it, check out Wikipedia's list of failed predictions.
