SunWorld: "What is Berners-Lee, some sort of idealistic hermit? As WEAVING THE WEB: THE ORIGINAL DESIGN AND ULTIMATE DESTINY OF THE WORLD WIDE WEB BY ITS INVENTOR matter-of-factly shows, the answer is a resounding on. Berners-Lee has a clear vision for the Web, and a firm set of priorities in life....In WEAVING THE WEB, Berners-Lee tells the story up to this point in a very plain, matter-of-fact style. The narrative is virtually bereft of the attitudes one might expect from someone at the center of such a momentous technological development. There is no self-righteousness, no ad hominem insults hurled at CERN bureaucrats and others who 'didn't get it,' not even any false modesty. This tone is incredibly refreshing." |

| Publisher's Note: |
When I first began tinkering with a software program that eventually gave rise to the idea of the World Wide Web, I named it Enquire, short for ENQUIRE WITHIN UPON EVERYTHING, a musty old book of Victorian advice I noticed as a child in my parent's house outside London. |

| Details: |
What was often difficult for people to understand about the design was that there was nothing else beyond URIs, HTTP, and HTML. There was no central computer "controlling" the Web, no single network on which these protocols worked, not even an organization anywhere that "ran" the Web. The Web was not a physical "thing" that existed in a certain "place." It was a "space" in which information could exist. |
