Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: In early 1996, the web was ephemeral. But by 2001, the internet was forever. How did websites transform from having a brief life to becoming long-lasting? Drawing on archival material from the Internet Archive and exclusive interviews, Ian Milligan's book explores how Western society evolved from fearing a digital dark age to building the robust digital memory we rely on today.
