Summary:

"A World's Fair for the Global Village is the story of how a grassroots collection of engineers, artists, and other volunteers set out to re-create the great world's fairs of the last century. In less than a year, they created the Internet 1996 World Exposition, which attracted 5 million visitors from 130 countries."--BOOK JACKET. "Carl Malamud, the fair's founder, gives a behind-the-scenes look at the fair, from its inception through the closing ceremony. This book, full of funny anecdotes and clear, nontechnical explanations, includes profiles of the small group of people who made it happen, backstage glimpses into the elaborate preparations, visits to highlights of the pavilions, and visitors' guestbook comments."--BOOK JACKET.
