Author of the book due March 17, 2009, published by Hyperion. Tells the story of the creation of Wikipedia, starting with the Internet culture that inspired the hacker ethos, USENET and the Free Software movement. It would be Apple’s forgotten HyperCard project that inspired Ward Cunningham to create the wiki, which became the savior of the original Nupedia encyclopedia started by Larry Sanger and Jimmy Wales.

Advance praise from Booklist and Publisher’s Weekly:

“Other books have surfaced... but Lih's authoritative approach covers much more.”

        - Publishers Weekly (January 12, 2009)

“An easy, nontech, intriguing read about a Web “miracle” that today rivals the Encyclopaedia Britannica.”
