“On the Way to the Web: The Secret History of the Internet and Its Founders” Book Review

Posted on 29. Aug, 2008 by Will Fitch.

Michael Banks does an excellent job consolidating the characters involved in the events leading up to the web. My first instinct was to think this book was going to be just another boring “history lesson” of the web. I couldn’t be more wrong.

Michael is very in-depth with the stories associated to each character in his book. While all have their own story, the drama surrounding one character in particular, Bill von Meister, was especially thrilling.

While some aspects of the book will be more appreciated by geeks, it is good for all audiences — geeks, students and your average PC user. I would highly recommend digging into “On the Way to the Web”.
