The Wikipedia Revolution by Andrew Lih
Wikipedia in less than a decade has single-handedly invigorated and torn up the very idea of an encyclopedia, eclipsing every rival tome and language in the world. Wikipedia is now firmly entrenched in the world's top 10 web sites. This title tells the Wikipedia story. It explains how a bunch of geeks built the world's greatest encyclopedia.
'Imagine a world in which every single person on the planet is given free access to the sum of all human knowledgeThat's what we're doing.' Jimmy Wales
