'It is terrific. I can't remember the last time I read a book that was more fascinating and useful and enjoyable all at the same time.' Bill BrysonHow Bad Are Bananas? was a groundbreaking book when first published in 2009, when most of us were hearing the phrase 'carbon footprint' for the first time. Mike Berners-Lee set out to inform us what was important (aviation, heating, swimming pools) and what made very little difference (bananas, naturally package...

Feeding the world, climate change, biodiversity, antibiotics, plastics, pandemics - the list of concerns seems endless. But what is most pressing, and what should we do first?

And, given the global nature of the challenges we now face, what on Earth can any of us do, as individuals? Mike Berners-Lee has crunched the numbers and plotted a course of action that is full of hope, p...

"Terra, xxi secolo. Ogni anno scompaiono fino a 10 000 specie. Le emissioni di anidride carbonica crescono esponenzialmente, ma i governi non riescono ad accordarsi per limitarle. Quando qualcuno percorre un chilometro con un diesel sottrae 7 minuti di vita al resto della popolazione. E anche se sviluppassimo le fonti rinnovabili, con gli attuali tassi di consumi da qui a 300 anni dovremmo coprire di pannelli solari ogni centimetro di terra per avere abbastanza energia. Benvenuti nell'Antr...

We have most of the technology we need to combat the climate crisis - and most people want to see more action. But after three decades of climate COPs, we are accelerating into a polycrisis of climate, food security, biodiversity, pollution, inequality, and more. What, exactly, has been holding us back? Mike Berners-Lee looks at the challenge from new angles. He stands further back to gain perspective; he digs deeper under the surface to see the root causes; he joins up every element of th...

The Burning Question reveals climate change to be the most fascinating scientific, political and social puzzle in history. It shows that carbon emissions are still accelerating upwards, following an exponential curve that goes back centuries. One reason is that saving energy is like squeezing a balloon: reductions in one place lead to increases elsewhere. Another reason is that clean energy sources don't in themselves slow the rate of fossil fuel extraction.Tackling global...

他創造出全球資訊網，卻選擇免費交給全世界現在，他要讓網路重新回到每個人手中This Is for Everyone這句話來自2012年倫敦奧運開幕式，是全球資訊網（WWW）發明人提姆・伯納斯－李爵士向數億名觀眾傳達的訊息，也是數位時代最具象徵性的公開訊號。1989年，34歲的他在歐洲核子研究組織（CERN）提出改變人類歷史的構想：打破資訊孤島，讓資訊能在開放、去中心化的網路中自由連結、共享與協作。他建立由URL、HTTP與HTML構成的通用資訊空間，奠定全球資訊網的基礎架構。雖然他與史帝夫・賈伯斯（Steve Jobs）與比爾蓋茲（Bill Gates）同年出生，但他不藉這項創新賺取商業利益，而是選擇讓全球資訊網以開放形式在全世界擴散。然而，今日的網路發展卻逐漸偏離他的初衷。開放平台被少數科技巨頭壟斷，成為利用數據牟利、操控注意力與散播假訊息的封閉...

Eine revolutionäre Erfindung – und ihre ZukunftTim Berners-Lee ist der womöglich einflussreichste Erfinder der modernen Welt. Geboren im selben Jahr wie Bill Gates und Steve Jobs, teilte er seine Erfindung, das World Wide Web, ohne sie kommerziell zu verwerten. Auch deshalb konnte sich diese Technologie so schnell über den gesamten Globus verbreiten. Mit ihr wurde die Menschheit zur ersten digitalen Spezies: Hier, im Web, vernetzen wir uns, hier leben, arbeiten, st...
