Why is it important?

The book is divided into two parts, the first one presents the web from a philosophical point of view and the second part offers us all technological issues which support it.

Perspectives

The amazing jobs, which have been done by three geniuses: Berners-Lee, Gödel and Turing, are highlighted in the first part of the book. Their contributions to computer science allow us to have a firm, solid and mature theory which inspires the Information Revolution we have been living to.
