Um, yeah. IMHO he did. More info and sources at bottom.

And I don't know that the personalities are super magnetic (though there are a lot of amusing Lick anecdotes I left out). So don't go in expecting "The Right Stuff." That said, I am a huge nerd, so I loved this book. This era should be a way bigger part of our collective mythology. Read Lick's papers too: Man Computer Symbiosis: http://worrydream.com/refs/Licklider%20-%20Man-Computer%20Symbiosis.pdf Intergalactic Memo: http://worrydream.com/refs/Licklider-IntergalacticNetwork.pdf The Rat One: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15415479/ What I think is his biggest psychoacoustics paper, if you dig that: https://web.mit.edu/HST.723/www/ThemePapers/Pitch/Licklider1951.pdf For the video and audio - not gonna lie, it's a bit dull. This is late in Licklider's life, and he reportedly suffered from Parkinson's. He gets in the weeds. I actually like that he doesn't come off as the world's finest communicator — it shows how much we overrate that. However, these are kinda slogs.
