4.0 out of 5 stars
Not just another history of the web, 11 Jan 2003
This review is from: Small Pieces Loosely Joined: A Unified Theory of the Web (Paperback)
I found this to be a very thought-provoking book. It's split into chapters intended to illustrate different facets of how our relationship to the web is subtly different to our experience of the "real world": concepts of space, time, knowledge etc. All this stuff is quite interesting, but I found that the book really kicked-in mid way through, in the chapter on "perfection". Weinberger's view that the web's imperfection, like our own, is what makes it so enjoyable really struck a chord. Indeed, there were several other instances in the book where I felt I was being shown a different perspective on something I had previously viewed as common sense - in itself, I think this is a good enough reason to recommend the book.
