Stewart Brand (born December 14, 1938 in Rockford, Illinois) is an author, editor, and creator of "The Whole Earth Catalog" and "CoEvolution Quarterly". His intent with the "Whole Earth Catalog" was to enable people to find virtually any sort of information useful to themselves, in the belief that humans would then develop a new, positive and sustainable culture and technology for themselves; in this way, his ideas were forerunners of the Internet.
