A fascinating intellectual journey through the history of communication and information, from the language of Africa's talking drums to the invention of written alphabets; from the electronic transmission of code to the origins of information theory, into the new information age and the current deluge of news, tweets, images, and blogs. Along the way, Gleick profiles key innovators, including Charles Babbage, Ada Lovelace, Samuel Morse, and Claude Shannon, and reveals how our understanding of information is transforming not only how we look at the world, but how we live. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eA \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e Notable Book\u003cbr\u003eA \u003ci\u003eLos Angeles Times \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eCleveland Plain Dealer\u003c\/i\u003e Best Book of the Year\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cb\u003eWinner of the PEN\/E.
