Next: The Future Just Happened

Chris Aldrich

Generally the excellent writing and storytelling we expect from Lewis. Alas, the coverage is becoming a bit dated making it more interesting historical vignettes from the "early" days of the internet. It makes an interesting time capsule of some of the philosophies of the early web, but is difficult to read it now given my personal background. For those who missed the early days, this builds some of the requisite background for what has ultimately become the social web and should thus be required reading.
