It is shown here as displayed in 2005 at Microcosm, the public science museum at <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CERN" class="extiw" title="en:CERN">CERN</a> (where Berners-Lee was working in 1991 when he invented the Web).

The document resting on the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_keyboard" class="extiw" title="en:Computer keyboard">keyboard</a> is a copy of "Information Management: A Proposal," which was Berners-Lee's original proposal for the World Wide Web.

The partly peeled off label on the cube itself has the following text: "This machine is a server. DO NOT POWER IT DOWN!!"

Just below the keyboard (not shown) is a label which reads: "At the end of the 80s, Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web using this Next computer as the first Web server."

The book is "<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enquire_Within_upon_Everything" class="extiw" title="en:Enquire Within upon Everything">Enquire Within upon Everything</a>", which TBL describes <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/reader/006251587X?p=S00C">on page one</a> of his book <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/en:Special:Booksources/006251587X" class="extiw" title="w:en:Special:Booksources/006251587X">Weaving the Web</a> as "a musty old book of Victorian advice I noticed as a child in my parents' house outside London".
