Theodor Holm Nelson

Theodor Holm Nelson invented the term "hypertext" in an essay published in 1965 and went on to create underground computer literature with self-published books including Computer Lib/Dream Machines and Literary Machines.

TransLit™, the new open source Xanadu is the most recent evolution of Project Xanadu, Nelson's vision for how to manage and present the world's network of digital information.
