Winner of the Royal Society Winton Prize for Science Books 2012,
the world's leading prize for popular science writing. We live in
the information age. But every era of history has had its own
information revolution: the invention of writing, the composition
of dictionaries, the creation of the charts that made navigation
possible, the discovery of the electronic signal, the cracking of
the genetic code. In 'The Information' James Gleick tells the story
of how human beings use, transmit and keep what they know. From
African talking drums to Wikipedia, from Morse code to the 'bit',
it is a fascinating account of the modern age's defining idea and a
brilliant exploration of how information has revolutionised our
lives.
