Praise for This Is for Everyone "Tim Berners-Lee's This Is for Everyone is more than just an autobiography. This book is an insightful recounting of the development of the World Wide Web and a profound declaration on how humanity should remain at the center of technology as we move forward in the twenty-first century." --Al Gore, former US vice president " This Is for Everyone takes us on a journey with this incredibly important man and his work as a visionary. Full of warmth and humanity, he is on a mission to fight for the integrity of the web: determined that his living, evolving creation will bring us all together in harmony." --Kate Bush, human "As a company running computer networks before the dawn of the internet age, Bloomberg was an early beneficiary of the towering wave of change that Tim Berners-Lee ushered in with the World Wide Web. His book offers a fascinating look at the origin and evolution of a world-transforming invention and how we can harness its potential as a force for good." --Michael Bloomberg, founder of Bloomberg and Bloomberg Philanthropies and mayor of New York, 2002-2013 "Tim Berners-Lee stands tall among our greatest inventors, making history not just because of the World Wide Web he pioneered, but because he made it available free to everyone. Not only that, but his story of creativity continues: his Solid project seeks to put the control of technology where it should and must be--in the hands of the people." --Gordon Brown, former prime minister of the United Kingdom "Tim Berners-Lee's invention of the World Wide Web is a landmark event of the last fifty years--and his tireless work to keep the web accessible to everyone is a service to humanity. In this absorbing, entertaining, and all-important book, Berners-Lee tells the story of the web's genesis, reckons with its evolution, and offers urgent and visionary guidance for its future." --Darren Walker, president of Ford Foundation and author of From Generosity to Justice "Sir Tim Berners-Lee's powerful memoir takes us on a guided tour through the creation and evolution of the web by the inventor himself with a humble, gripping, inspiring personal story. This is not just a history; it's an extraordinary personal testament to human and technological potential and a critical reminder that as AI begins to even more dramatically transform our lives, we must work, as Tim does, to ensure that technology is built to nurture creativity, collaboration, and compassion for all." --Ruth Porat, president and chief investment officer of Alphabet and Google "How lucky we are that the first new major application built on top of the generative internet was Tim Berners-Lee's brainchild, the web. The web's affordances reflect Tim's extraordinary brilliance, his deeply humanistic values, and his humble outlook, and this book represents a definitive account of just how it worked. This Is for Everyone is both eye-opening memoir and stirring manifesto: the inventor's sketch of how we got here, and a road map for where we might still go, if we choose wisely." --Jonathan Zittrain, cofounder of the Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society, Harvard University; and author of The Future of the Internet--And How to Stop It "The World Wide Web is only thirty-six years old, but like much in our industrialized society we already take it for granted. However, it did not happen by accident--like everything that we make, first it had to be designed by someone. That someone is Tim Berners-Lee, and in This Is for Everyone, he describes its creation. It is a great story, and the narrative is full of insights into the world of science and makes for compulsive reading." --Lord Norman Foster of Thames Bank OM
Synopsis
The inventor of the World Wide Web explores his vision's promise--and how it can be redeemed for the future. Perhaps the most influential inventor of the modern world, Sir Tim Berners-Lee is a different kind of technologist. Born in the same year as Bill Gates and Steve Jobs, he famously distributed his invention, the World Wide Web, for no commercial reward. Its widespread adoption changed everything--transforming humanity into the first digital species. Through the web, we live, work, dream, quarrel, and connect. In this intimate memoir, Berners-Lee tells the story of his iconic invention, exploring how it launched a new era of creativity and collaboration while unleashing powerful forces that imperil truth and privacy and polarize public debate. With his trademark humor and candor, he recounts how he arrived at CERN, the European Laboratory for Particle Physics, as a young engineer, and soon came up with the astonishing idea of adding hyperlinks to the then-nascent Internet. His goal was to unleash a wave of creativity and collaboration for the benefit of all--a goal he's pursued to this day. Peppered with rich anecdotes and amusing reflections, This Is for Everyone is a gripping, in-the-room account of the rise of the digital world. As the rapid development of artificial intelligence brings new risks and possibilities, Berners-Lee also offers a crucial guide to the decisions ahead--and shows how our digital lives can be reengineered for the sake of human flourishing rather than profit or for power., A Sunday Times Bestseller The inventor of the World Wide Web explores his vision's promise--and how it can be redeemed for the future.
