He was talking about his recent book, [The Seven Rules of Trust](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Seven_Rules_of_Trust). As well as being a living internet legend, he's a proper raconteur. It was great hearing the story of the early days of Wikipedia, as well as his thoughts on the effect of AI on the platform. I look forward to getting stuck into the book! Wikipedia is a modern wonder of the world.
