“No Better Time: The Brief, Remarkable Life of Danny Lewin, the Genius Who Transformed the Internet” by Molly Knight Raskin is a compelling biography that chronicles the extraordinary life and legacy of Danny Lewin, a brilliant mathematician and entrepreneur. Known as one of the co-founders of Akamai Technologies, Lewin played a pivotal role in revolutionizing the internet by developing innovative technologies to make it faster and more efficient. Born in 1970, Lewin’s life journey was marked by his exceptional intellect, determination, and passion for problem-solving. Raised in both the United States and Israel, he served in the elite Israeli military unit Sayeret Matkal before pursuing his academic and professional ambitions. While studying at MIT, he devised groundbreaking algorithms that became the foundation for Akamai’s content delivery network, a system that transformed the way data is distributed online. The book also delves into Lewin’s tragic death on September 11, 2001. A passenger aboard American Airlines Flight 11, Lewin is believed to have been one of the first victims of the terrorist attacks. His untimely passing underscores the profound loss of a visionary who had already made a significant impact on the digital world. Molly Knight Raskin’s narrative weaves together personal stories, interviews, and insights into Lewin’s character, exploring his determination, brilliance, and humanity. The book serves as both a tribute to Lewin’s legacy and an inspiring account of how one individual’s innovations can shape the future.
