Zine - Unsung Heroes of the Information Age

Soul Searching is based on the life of Alan Emtage, inventor of the internet search engine.

Born in Barbados in 1964, at the age of 15 Alan bought himself a ZX81, a home computer known as the Timex Sinclair 1000 in the US. Retailing at $99 it was a purchase that set the course of his life...

Like many of those responsible for laying the foundations of the information age, Alan did this work without any expectation of personal gain.

The Unsung Heroes series of comics salutes those selfless pioneers and celebrates the original spirit of the Information Age. A spirit of generosity, openness and collaboration.
