The history of technology you probably know is one of men and machines, garages and riches, alpha nerds and brogrammers. But female visionaries have always been at the vanguard of technology and innovation—they’ve just been erased from the story. Until now.

Join the ranks of the pioneers who defied convention and the longest odds to become database poets, information-wranglers, hypertext dreamers, and glass ceiling-shattering dot com-era entrepreneurs.

Welcome to the Broad Band.

You’re next.

“Broad Band is the Our Bodies, Ourselves for all computer users—this knowledge belongs to us. And Claire Evans tells the story like a friend who knows you get bored easily; a generous sort of brilliance that pulled me right in. This is a radically important, timely work.”
MIRANDA JULY


“Broad Band is such an interesting secret history, written with great panache.”
JON RONSON


“A necessary addition to the story of women in computing, about known heroes and the fearless women and punks the world needs to know more about.”
ELLEN ULLMAN

“Evans isn't just a superb writer, interviewer and researcher—she's also a brilliant voice actor, whose reading is gripping, exuberant, sorrowful and enraging by turns. I love hearing a book read by its author...when the author is a good reader. Evans is the whole package.”
CORY DOCTOROW
