How the Web Was Lost (The internet was not meant to suck).

I review some history—thoughtful, philosophical, and enraged—by Tim Berners-Lee, Joanna Walsh, and @pluralistic.

Berners-Lee has a memoir out now, too. "This is For Everyone," which I enjoyed.

D'oh! I read the headline and the first part of the article before the paywall, thinking you were writing about a book called "How The Web Was Lost." I'll wipe the egg off my face now.

@killick I'm sorry about the paywall. There's nothing I can do.
