Information is a central topic in computer science, cognitive
science, and philosophy. In spite of its importance in the
"information age," there is no consensus on what information is,
what makes it possible, and what it means for one medium to carry
information about another. Drawing on ideas from mathematics,
computer science, and philosophy, this book addresses the
definition and place of information in society. The authors,
observing that information flow is possible only within a connected
distribution system, provide a mathematically rigorous,
philosophically sound foundation for a science of information. They
illustrate their theory by applying it to a wide range of
phenomena, from file transfer to DNA, from quantum mechanics to
speech act theory.
