Examines the development of Wikipedia as an online collaborative project and considers how trust functions within large, decentralized communities. The book reflects on the platform's growth from an early internet experiment to a widely used global reference resource and discusses the challenges its contributors faced in establishing norms of cooperation, civility, and reliability. Drawing on experiences from Wikipedia's early years, Jimmy Wales explores how trust is formed, maintained, and applied within organizations and public systems, particularly during a period in which confidence in many institutions has declined. The work presents principles intended to support accountability, collaboration, and long-term community building.
