Marie Lebert's book is a time capsule. It zooms in on the pivotal years around 2000, when the internet stopped being a niche tool and exploded into everyday life. The story isn't about tech specs or business deals. Instead, it follows a quieter, deeper revolution: what was happening to human language online.
The Story
The book paints a picture of a digital world in frantic growth. As more people came online from different countries, a huge question emerged. Would English, as the early web's dominant language, swallow everything else? Or could the internet's very nature—its ability to connect anyone, anywhere—actually preserve and even strengthen minority and local languages? Lebert shows us the activists, linguists, and everyday users who were wrestling with this future in real time, building tools and communities to make sure the internet reflected the world's true linguistic diversity.
Why You Should Read It
What's fascinating is how current it feels. The debates from 2000—about online identity, cultural preservation in a global space, and who gets a voice—are the same debates we're having today about social media and AI. Reading it now, with the benefit of hindsight, lets you see the roots of our modern digital culture. You'll recognize the early versions of problems we still haven't solved.
Final Verdict
This is a perfect pick for curious minds who love internet history, linguistics, or just a great story about cultural change. If you've ever paused to think about why the internet feels the way it does, or if you're nostalgic for (or fascinated by) the early web, this book connects those personal dots to the bigger picture. It's a short, insightful look back that helps explain the digital world we live in now.
