==Books about ARC==
The complex story of the rise and fall of ARC has been documented in a book by sociologist [[Thierry Bardini]].<ref>{{Cite book |title= Bootstrapping: Douglas Engelbart, Coevolution, and the Origins of Personal Computing |author= Thierry Bardini |author-link= Thierry Bardini |year=2000 |publisher=Stanford University Press |isbn=0-8047-3723-1 |url= https://archive.org/details/bootstrapping00thie |url-access= registration }}</ref> From the perspective of the [[Counterculture of the 1960s|1960s counter-culture revolution]], [[John Markoff]], in his book ''[[What the Dormouse Said]]'', also follows Englebart's persistence in creating ARC as not only a collection of talented off-beat engineers working in direct contrast to the [[Stanford Artificial Intelligence Laboratory]] nearby, but also as a sociological experiment that constructed and tested methods for group creation and design.<ref>{{Cite book |title= What the Dormouse Said |author= John Markoff |author-link= John Markoff |publisher= Penguin |year= 2006 |isbn= 978-0-14-303676-0}}</ref>

ARC was also indirectly covered in many other books about [[PARC (company)|Xerox PARC]], since that is where many ARC employees later fled to (and brought some of Engelbart's ideas with them). Taylor had founded the Computer Systems Laboratory at PARC in 1970.
