That same month, July 1945, Vannevar Bush published "As We May Think" in The Atlantic.
This forward-looking essay anticipated hypertext, the web, Wikipedia, and other information technologies in the form of a desk-like device he called a "memex."
The article is still available in The Atlantic’s archives. You can read it here: https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/1945/07/as-we-may-think/303881/
