Fred Turner, author of "From Counterculture to Cyberculture," talks about his latest book, in which he uncovered the ways today's multimedia was deliberately created during World War II & the Cold War to encourage the creation of "democratic personalities" -- a multidecade collaboration and convergence that included Margaret Mead, Gregory Bateson, the Bauhaus, John Cage, Buckminster Fuller, Black Mountain College, Andy Warhol, Marshall McLuhan, the US Information Agency, and the Museum of Modern Art."
