Weaving the Web

While it's nice to read the story of the origins of the WWW, the voice of the ghostwriter is very strong here. Berners Lee is great at crediting his colleagues, and how it was not him, but a team that developed the protocols and technologies that led to the web, but there is a tension with the need to have a 'heroes journey' narrative here, which fills the book with contradiction. Each chapter tells a little bit of something interesting, but overall the book is a bit too Hollywood to enjoy.

Very interesting for a look into the history of the the web's creation and its spread. The latter chapters haven't aged well. Overly optimistic (where is the semantic web these days?) and a little sad when looking at how the web has influenced society through social media.
