Wikipedia se ha acogido como la ayuda más revolucionaria a la difusión de conocimientos humanos desde la prensa de la impresión de Gutenberg. En menos de una década se ha revitalizado y desgarrado de manera individualizada la propia idea de un "cuesclopedia", eclipsing every rivalming in every language in the world. Wikipedia se encuentra hoy firmemente en los 10 sitios web más importantes del mundo. Se ha vuelto tan popular que se estropea normalmente a través de su contenido todos los días. Cualquier palabra en cualquier motor de búsqueda y más que probable una página Wikipedia será el primer resultado. Cada vez se cita más en la prensa, los libros, los asuntos legales y la política. Mientras que las únicas marcas en la Web que se caracterizaban por encima de ella - Google, Yahoo y Microsoft - son empresas de miles de millones de dólares, cada uno con decenas de miles de empleados, Wikipedia tiene un personal pagado de menos de 20 con un presupuesto operativo de poco más de 3 millones de dólares. En lugar de ello depende totalmente de la legión de no retribuidos, a menudo anónimos, de los hombres. Y, desde enero de 2001, estos «Wikipedios» han creado más de 10 millones de artículos, en más de 250 idiomas, añadiendo y actualizando a "la velocidad de las noticias" para crear nada menos que un "continuo proyecto de trabajo". Sin embargo, el éxito no ha sido controvertido. Aunque muchos consideran que es un gran liberador, otros, de las universidades de la República Popular China, sólo ven anarquía y caos. Y ahora, por primera vez, Andrew Lih cuenta la historia de Wikipedia. Una historia que desafía algunas de nuestras nociones más apreciadas - de neutralidad, autoridad y propiedad a las liberaciones civil y el motivo de los beneficios - y explica cómo un ramo de geeks construyó la mayor enciclopedia del mundo. Yrew Lih es un académico que escribe y comenta sobre nuevos medios de comunicación, periodismo y tecnología. Ha enseñado en la Universidad de Columbia y en la Universidad de Hong Kong. www.andrewlih.com

Wikipedia has been hailed as the most revolutionary aid to the spread of human knowledge since Gutenberg's printing press. In less than a decade it has single-handedly invigorated and torn up the very idea of an 'encyclopedia', eclipsing every rival tome in every language in the world. Today Wikipedia is firmly entrenched in the world's top 10 websites. It has become so popular we casually stumble across its content every day. Type any word into any search engine and more than likely a Wikipedia page will be the first result. It is increasingly cited in the press, books, legal affairs and politics. But whereas the only web brands that consistently rank above it - Google, Yahoo and Microsoft - are multi-billion dollar enterprises, each with tens of thousands of employees, Wikipedia has a paid staff of fewer than 20, with an operating budget of little more than $3 million. Instead it depends entirely on a legion of unpaid, often anonymous, volunteers. And, since January 2001, these 'Wikipedians' have created more than 10 million articles, in over 250 languages, adding and updating at 'the speed of news' to create nothing less than a 'continuous working draft of history'. But success hasn't come without controversy. Whilst many regard it as a great liberator, others - from universities to the People's Republic of China - see only anarchy and chaos. So now, for the first time, Andrew Lih tells the Wikipedia story. A story which challenges some of our most cherished notions - from neutrality, authority and ownership to civil liberties and the profit motive - and explains how a bunch of geeks built the world's greatest encyclopedia. Andrew Lih is an academic who writes and commentates on new media, journalism and technology. He has taught at Columbia University and the University of Hong Kong. www.andrewlih.com
