What is Remembering the Future Interviews from Personal Computer World about?

Prepare yourself for a book which is the result of self­ 5K at indulgence: my self-indulgence. While the other boys in my school might have wanted to meet Kevin Keegan when he played for Liverpool or Adam Ant when he played the Forum, I wanted to meet Sir Clive Sinclair and Chuck Peddle. I was a pretty sad kid. But I knew what I wanted. PCW is the best place in the world to work if you like computer hardware. You get the latest, most exotic equipment to play with, often months before it hits the shops, and the manufacturers even pretend not to mind if you break it. Sometimes, to break the monotony of playing with yet another fastest-ever PC or high-resolution colour printer, the computer companies will buy you lunch in the kinds of restaurants where you are disappointed if at least one of the other diners hasn't won an Oscar. Eventually you get blase and start turning down boat trips on a fjord and odd days on the West Coast (Monterey not Morecambe). But these are all things you can have with enough money. Getting to meet the major personalities in the computer in­ dustry is harder. And I've done it. I've met many impressive people and always enjoyed interviewing them.
