With an ambitious decentralized platform, the
father of the web hopes it’s game on for corporate tech giants like
Facebook and Google.
Last week, Tim Berners-Lee, inventor of the World Wide Web, asked me to
come and see a project he has been working on almost as long as the web
itself. It’s a crisp autumn day in Boston, where Berners-Lee works out
of an office above a boxing gym. After politely offering me a cup of
coffee, he leads us into a sparse conference room. At one end of a long
table is a battered laptop covered with stickers. Here, on this
computer, he is working on a plan to radically alter how all of us live
and work on the web.
