William Auckerman writes about the hidden architectures of life and change: how ideas, technologies, and information shape what we see and what we miss. Each book (just two so far) explores a different facet of that transformation: the past that built our future, and the information systems shaping our minds today.

Looking Back to See Ahead
Subtitle: How Yesterday’s Turning Points Reveal Tomorrow’s Trends
A reflective journey through the “hinge years” that bent history’s arc, from the birth of personal computing to the rise of global connectivity. This book shows how past patterns illuminate what comes next, and why hindsight is the most underused foresight tool we have.
