Building the Internet was a collective achievement of many engineers and scientists, but the World Wide Web stands out as the brainchild of a single individual, Tim Berners-Lee. He envisioned a global universe of linked documents and developed the first browser and server programs, along with the essential protocols and acronyms (HTTP, URL, HTML, WWW) that shape our daily lives. Despite his monumental contribution, Berners-Lee has remained modest about his journey. This book offers a definitive account of the Web's creation, told directly from the source. The first 90 pages detail Berners-Lee's ingenuity, persistence, and vision, presenting a compelling narrative about civic values. He could have amassed immense wealth through the Intellectual Property Rights of the Web but chose to keep it free for everyone. The subsequent 130 pages describe his commitment to the public domain through the establishment of the World Wide Web Consortium, aimed at preventing corporate monopolization. Throughout, Berners-Lee challenges the notion of the Web as merely a business tool, emphasizing its potential to encapsulate human knowledge and understanding. This work stands as a powerful testament to his vision.
