Written as a popular history, the text ranges from short biographies of Jimmy Wales, Larry Sanger and Ward Cunningham, to brief accounts of infamous events in Wikipedia's history such as the Essjay controversy and the Seigenthaler incident. Lih describes the importance of early influences on Wikipedia including Usenet, Hypercard, Slashdot, and MeatballWiki. He also explores the cultural differences found within sister projects such as the German Wikipedia, the Chinese Wikipedia, and the Japanese Wikipedia. The book also covers the Citizendium project, originally a fork of Wikipedia by co-founder Larry Sanger. There is a foreword by Wales, and an afterword partially created by volunteers through an online wiki detailing the problems and opportunities of Wikipedia's future.[6] ReceptionPeter Robins with The Telegraph said that "although [Lin's] account of the site’s growth gives space to the controversies it has generated, the tone is fannish." Robins says the author "conveys a vivid sense of Wikipedian talent and provides a useful primer on the computing culture that gave it birth," but added "his writing can veer from the simplistic to buzzword-filled."[7] Publication
