It's 1990 and the World Wide Web is making its way into homes all across the world. Everyone wants in on the action, including Charles - a PhD student with an impressive list of citations and a Herculean ego, but not much else. How far will he go to make a name for himself and how many people will he squash to get there?

Industry Reviews

"I think the Internet's going to revolutionize life," said Charles,
"Mmm. How so?" uttered Holywell.
"I don't know." Charles began jiggling his right leg, coins rattling in his pocket. "I just get the impression it's going to make a big difference."

"We've all known a Charles. Abramson's wry story of an academic's cynical ambition could easily play out in any university, business or government."
Peter Greste, Journalist and Author of "The First Casualty"

"Purely Academic is pure gold. This had me gripped until the last page."
David Williamson, Playwright and Dramatist

"A captivating story of academic intrigue, set against the birth of the Web. A fun read that raises serious questions."
UC San Diego Distinguished Professor Emeritus Larry Smarr, Founding director of the NCSA, birthplace of one of the world's earliest Web browsers
