The Virtual Bookcase Reviews of 'Architects of the Web : 1,000 Days That Built the Future of Business':

Reviewer amazon.com wrote:
Robert Reid explores the history of the Net from a business perspective--how a communication system nominally built for national defense and in effect taken over by education and research came to erupt as the most important medium since television--and with greater speed and intensity than any communication medium ever. Each chapter examines the Web's business development through the story of one of its pioneers--including Marc Andreeson of Netscape, Mark Pesce of VRML, Jerry Yang of Yahoo!, Halsey Minor of CNET, and more. Its an exciting story of frantic activity in a whirlwind environment and of the individuals who rode the tornado to success.

This book chronicles the dynamic history of the Web's creation and evolution and its emergence as a tool for business. The creators of Mosaic, Yahoo!, and HotWired are some of the innovators whose creativity and drive give this book its dynamic focus. This book explores the Web as a fact and a phenomenon, a catalyst of change, and a new medium of mass communication. If you believe that the Internet is a culture, Reid's book will give you the indispensable story of its founders, icons, and driving forces.
