This is the true story of two men who meet only once. One is a pacifist, the other is a Nazi. Both men are visionaries, but their visions for the future of the world cannot be more different.

One man's vision is to harness data for peace, and a century ago he builds a world-wide-web to deliver exactly that. The other man's vision is to harness information to control the masses, and in 1944 he achieves that too.

This is the shocking truth about the man who invented the internet and the man who destroyed it.
