The Information: A History, a Theory, a Flood (James Gleick)
from Dratsi Pod
James Gleick traces the development of information as a scientific and cultural idea. The history moves from older systems of communication to modern information theory. It examines how messages can be represented, transmitted, measured, and distorted. Technological changes reshape the ways people preserve knowledge and communicate across distance. The book connects these developments to the growing abundance of information in everyday life.
