Historical but maybe not relevant to modern readers

3 stars

Interesting to see his life from a historical perspective. A small peak into the explosion of religious sects in the colonies and his printing business. The writing style and tone are dry by today's standards and I don't feel I ever got to know how he thinks.

Tim Berners-Lee: Weaving the Web (2000, HarperBusiness) 3 stars

The history and original design of the World Wide Web by its creator

Review of 'Weaving the Web' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

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.
