这本合集是一场穿越时空的视觉旅程，收集了我们今天视作理所当然的事物的最早例子：**个使用环绕声的网站，**个拖放式导航，**个翻页效果，**个使用无缝视频集成的网站，**个病毒网站，**个视差网站，**个“面部表情上传”网站，**个包含手机的网站，**个类似YouTube的“网站”等等。

它收集了200多个网站，每个网站都附有创建者本人说的话和深刻见解-深入探究了开拓者们的思想，他们为许多后来者铺平了像素化的道路，包括Jonathan Gay（Flash网站），Gabo Mendoza（Gabocorp网站），中村裕吾（Yugop网站），彼得•范登•温加特（NRG.BE网站），约书亚•戴维斯（Praystation网站）和埃里克•乔丹（2Advanced网站）。

这部综合的可视化历史用21章详细介绍了自1998年以来每年的**网站和当时使用的硬件的示例，并探讨了用户体验、可用性和技术里程碑如何影响我们今天使用的Internet的发展。
The last three decades have marked an era of technological upheaval as frenetic and groundbreaking as there ever has been. From early desktop computers and mobile phones to virtual reality: the web is now virtually inseparable from all facets of human interaction and daily life. But it wasn’t always funny cat videos and sleek interfaces.

This collection is a visual journey through time, gathering the very earliest examples of what we today take for granted: the first website to use surround sound, the first drag-and-drop navigation, the first page-

turn effect, the first website to use seamless video integration, the first viral site, the first parallax website, the first ‘upload-your-face’ website, the first site to incorporate a mobile phone, the first ever YouTube-like “website”, and many more.

It gathers more than 200 websites, and each comes with quotes and insights from the creators themselves―an invaluable peek into the minds of pioneers who paved the pixelized way for many to follow, including Jonathan Gay (Flash), Gabo Mendoza (Gabocorp), Yugo Nakamura (Yugop), Peter Van Den Wyngaert (NRG.BE), Joshua Davis (Praystation), and Eric Jordan (2Advanced).

This comprehensive visual history gathers 21 chapters that detail, for every year since 1998, the best websites and examples of hardware used at the time, and explore how user experience, usability, and technological milestones have influenced the development of the internet we use today. Year-by-year factsheets and smart Google insights orient the reader through major developments across such categories as world news headlines, highest grossing films, new soft and hardware, greatest website traffic, and many more.

For many, this collection will offer a virtual trip down nostalgia lane―but all generations will find a sweeping reference work as well as a celebration of how the earliest creative minds came to define the web, and eventually the world, as we know it.
