The First Days Of The Internet
punk, art and the world wide web
A memoir of how a boy went from punk rock in the 1970s to art school in the 1980s to inventing parts of the Internet in the 1990s.Everybody got the Internet in the end but I got it first.In 1993, when there were fewer than one hundred web sites in existence, I started the first Web magazine in the world. Then I invented the Cybercafé, started a web agency, and created the domain name industry, all before most people knew there was an Internet.My entrepreneurial life had started in the 1970s after the Sex Pistols lobbed a grenade into polite society. I became a teenage punk publisher. By the 1980s I was a Goldsmiths art student who did battle with Damien Hirst and the YBAs. Then I discovered the internet.At the start of the new millennium the shares I had received for my Internet company were worth sixty million pounds. Then the roundabout stopped and the markets collapsed. Within a year the money was all gone.
