=== 2010s === A version described as "a working deliverable", OpenXanadu, was made available on the [[World Wide Web]] in 2014. It is called open because "you can see all the parts", but {{As of|2014|6|lc=y}} the site stated that it was "not yet open source". On the site, the creators claim that [[Tim Berners-Lee]] stole their idea, and that the World Wide Web is a "bizarre structure created by arbitrary initiatives of varied people and it has a terrible programming language" and that Web security is a "complex maze". They go on to say that Hypertext is designed to be paper, and that the World Wide Web allows nothing more than dead links to other dead pages.<ref>[http://xanadu.com Xanadu web page] [http://xanadu.com/xanademos/MoeJusteOrigins.html Sample document: "Origins", by Moe Juste] "takes a while to open because it's downloading a lot"</ref> In 2016, Ted Nelson was interviewed by [[Werner Herzog]] in his documentary, ''[[Lo and Behold, Reveries of the Connected World]]''. "By some, he was labeled insane for clinging on; to us, you appear to be the only one who is clinically sane", Herzog said.<ref>Herzog, Werner, director. ''Lo and Behold, Reveries of the Connected World''. Magnolia Pictures, 2016</ref> Nelson was delighted by the praise. "No one has ever said that before!" said Nelson. "Usually I hear the opposite."
