Tim Berners-Lee's autobiography, with a good description of the origin of the
World Wide Web by its
inventor. The first part is a nice description of the steps he took to design and promote his ideas. It is remarkable that he designed the
http protocol together with
html, and setup the first
web browser and
server. I found it amusing that when he presented his ideas at a
hypertext conference, people did not believe that combining hypertext with the internet was much useful. In the second part he rants about different ideas on the future of the web and the book gets less interesting.
