This is a truly fascinating book - I would recommend it to anyone interested in history, web standards, and organizational design. Russell shares an ideological perspective on technological innovation that is distinctly different from what is taught in school and circulated in popular media. It has given me a lot to think critically about as a business manager in Open Web technology - I will definitely reference this book in the future and recommend to my colleagues who are working on web standards!
