The Metaweb: The Next Level of the Internet

Born from years of research and real-world frustration with siloed digital systems, The Metaweb lays out the vision for a public, contextual, and people-centered layer above the web.

“The notion of a meta-environment above the webpage is directionally interesting… the book presents a creative argument that warrants further discussion.”
Vint Cerf, Co-Inventor of the Internet
