Tonight, we unravel the quiet origin story behind one of the most transformative inventions in human history:
the World Wide Web.
Long before social media, streaming, and viral videos, a soft-spoken physicist named Tim Berners-Lee scribbled an idea that would silently ignite a digital revolution.
From a curious boy in postwar London to a restless tinkerer at CERN in 1989, this episode takes you inside the unlikely path that led to HTML, HTTP, and the first-ever website. But this isn’t just about technology—it’s about ideals: openness, connection, and the radical decision to give it all away for free.
Through a world on the brink of change — Berlin Walls falling, Cold Wars ending — we explore how one man’s filing problem became the backbone of the modern internet. And what it means today, in a world where truth, freedom, and privacy hang in the balance.
Join host Ferdinand for a story of invention, intention, and the invisible threads that tie us all together.
