Last few days for funding “Go Computer Now!”, a book about the nearly forgotten, pioneering Utah computer firm Sphere (1975–1977) that you likely *never heard about*. (I edited the book.) Help us get over the last hump at www.kickstarter.com/projects/bzo... @bzotto.bsky.social
Go Computer Now! – The Story of Sphere Computers
A book telling the extraordinary story of Sphere, a 1970s Utah personal computer maker far ahead of its time—until its sudden collapse.

If you want to learn more about these computers and the people behind it that beat Commodore, Apple and Tandy to the market but still lost out—there’s a Kickstarter for a book about Sphere Computers going on right now, they could use a few more supporters.

It’s the 80s, you’re working at Sinclair research, designing the Sinclair Spectrum, when suddenly Sir Clive pops his head around the door and says, ‘We don’t need to cut costs after all, just make it as good as you can’. What are you changing? #RetroComputing
