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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn 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 he's pursued to this day. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePeppered with rich anecdotes and amusing reflections, \u003ci\u003eThis Is for Everyone\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tim Berners-Lee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0374612463\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780374612467\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Farrar, Straus and Giroux\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/09\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2025 pg. 9","brand":"Tim Berners-Lee","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46838229205247,"sku":"9780374612467","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f4654854-9786-4788-b8e5-27f183f84c2f.jpg?v=1746589212","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/this-is-for-everyone-tim-berners-lee-9780374612467","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
