On the Way to the Web - The Secret History of the Internet and Its Founders

On the Way to the Web is the story of the opening of the Internet, and parallel developments in the alternate world of computer bulletin board systems. It’s a chronicle of the inventive, individualistic and often cantankerous individuals who set the Internet free—and the online population who created a new culture and turned the frontier into their vision of the future. On the Way to the Web is a business book and a chronicle of popular culture set
in the online era preceding the Web, with a rich vein of human interest.
