Everything happens fast on the Internet, so it should come as no surprise to find a history of the World Wide Web, a phenomenon that's only a few years old, already on the shelves.  The author, the current director of the WWW Consortium and the man credited with founding the Web, describes, in fascinating detail, his work and that of others as they moved from an initial vision —  of all kinds of information interconnected and easily accessible from a single point — to the reality of the Web.   He is able to recount here, in readable terms, not only the story, but also a sort of road map for the WWW that begins with the past and goes on into the distant future. Filled with his concerns, criticisms, and advice, Weaving the Web guides readers through a complex and interesting story that has yet to fully unfold.
