After a brief review of his education and work experience at Eckert-Mauchly Computer Corporation, Raymond Rosen Engineering, and Hughes Aircraft, Baran describes his working environment at the Rand Corporation, as well as his initial interest in survivable communications. He then goes on to describe the evolution of his plan for distributed networks, the objections he received, the writing and distribution of his eleven-volume work, On Distributed Communications, and his decision against proceeding with implementation of the network in 1966.
