Title: Should Be Required Readng For All Netizens
Review: I had the pleasure of reading Tim's book at about the time I was working with a non-profit group which produced a free two-hour webcast of Tim's Q&A. The book really filled in the gaps in my knowledge of the creation and evolution of the Internet. His play-by-play description of his days at CERN truly painted a picture of the times and places. His unselfish comments about Marc Andreessen, Bill Gates and the other Internet billionaires truly speaks volumes about the founder of the Internet. The Phrase "What's Past is Prologue" (as etched in the National Archives Building in Washingtn,D.C.) truly encapsulates Tim's optimistic view of where the Internet has come as well as where it is going in the future. His ethical and moral musings in the latter part of the book force all of us who are participating in the evolution of the Internet to stop and think about why we do what we do.
Is the review positive or negative?
