"The inventor of the World Wide Web explores his visionïs  
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 heïs 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.
