   "The inventor of the World Wide Web explores his visionīs     
   promise-and how it can be redeemed for the future.   
      
   "Perhaps the most influential inventor of the modern world, Sir   
   Tim Berners-Lee is a different kind of technologist. Born in   
   the same year as Bill Gates and Steve Jobs, he famously   
   distributed his invention, the World Wide Web, for no   
   commercial reward. Its widespread adoption changed everything-   
   transforming humanity into the first digital species. Through   
   the web, we live, work, dream, quarrel, and connect.   
      
   "In this intimate memoir, Berners-Lee tells the story of his   
   iconic invention, exploring how it launched a new era of   
   creativity and collaboration while unleashing powerful forces   
   that imperil truth and privacy and polarize public debate. With   
   his trademark humor and candor, he recounts how he arrived at   
   CERN, the European Laboratory for Particle Physics, as a young   
   engineer, and soon came up with the astonishing idea of adding   
   hyperlinks to the then-nascent Internet. His goal was to   
   unleash a wave of creativity and collaboration for the benefit   
   of all-a goal heīs pursued to this day.   
      
   "Peppered with rich anecdotes and amusing reflections, This Is   
   for Everyone is a gripping, in-the-room account of the rise of   
   the digital world. As the rapid development of artificial   
   intelligence brings new risks and possibilities, Berners-Lee   
   also offers a crucial guide to the decisions ahead-and shows   
   how our digital lives can be reengineered for the sake of human   
   flourishing rather than profit or for power.
