Huntsville, San Diego, St. Petersburg and San Francisco, 1966 to 2016. An options trader builds a web portal that sells advertising beside photographs of women, and spends its cash on a free encyclopedia written by credentialed experts under seven stages of review. In its first full year that encyclopedia produces about two dozen finished articles. The wiki opened beside it in January 2001, as a feeder, produces thousands in a month and within two years has swallowed its parent. What the founder then gives away is not the writing, which was never his, but the ownership: servers, trademarks and domains pass to a charity that will spend the next decade establishing, at real cost, that it may not write a word of what it hosts. Covers Jimmy Wales, Nupedia, Wikipedia, and Wikimedia Foundation.
