Coined hypertext and hypermedia (1965) and spent six decades on Xanadu — the web's uncompromised predecessor.

Coined 'hypertext' and 'hypermedia' (1963), designed Xanadu — the never-quite-shipped system that predated the web by decades — and wrote 'Computer Lib / Dream Machines.'\n\nThe web's prophet who wasn't consulted; 'transclusion' is his word.
