If you’re old enough to remember LAN parties in their heyday, you’ll remember how complex (and amazing) they were. If you haven’t, you may have heard old people speak of them respectfully, in a calm tone, which makes them sound almost legendary.
While people still keep it of course –Sometimes in great numbers!—Online multiplayer is very much coming I killed them as a cultural touchstone. and nAh, it’s been 20 years Their time, now is as good a time as any to goA historical look, a historical look at what they were, how they worked and what they actually meant for everyone involved.
And that’s what lan partyby MErritt K, does. bulletin Always excellent ROM books, you will experience the glory days of the scene, at the turn of the millennium, and will display a large number of images documenting those difficult and important times. Here is the pitch:

Many pictures are included in lan party Captured with early digital cameras with limited resolution. To make these photos look their best in print, we used artificial intelligence optimization software — an emerging technology that allows low-resolution photos to be upgraded with amazing results — to create the first full-size photo book about this beloved subculture.
