James Gleick begins the story of how humans communicate, transmit, store and preserve what they know in a time before alphabets of any kind existed, when African talking drums first made communication over distance possible. The Information chronicles the invention of writing and the first dictionaries, the creation of the codes and charts that would facilitate navigation and travel, and, finally, the electronic transmission of signals. We are given portraits of seminal figures in the understanding of information: Charles Babbage, Ada Byron, and Claude Shannon.

Informatie dat is hét onderwerp van deze tijd. Kon een encyclopedie vijftig jaar geleden nog met een klein lemma volstaan om het begrip 'informatie' te beschrijven, nu vergt het hele bladzijden om alleen al het huidige 'informatietijdperk' enigszins in kaart te brengen. We verzuipen bijkans in de informatie.James Gleick, auteur van de internationale besteller Chaos, beschrijft in Informatie uitvoerig de manieren waarop wij in de loop van de tijd met elkaar op afstand hebben leren communiceren, te beginnen met de tamtam, via het boek, de telex, de telefoon, de fax, naar de bits en bites van dit moment. Tegen wil en dank zijn we tegenwoordig allemaal informatie- en communicatie-experts geworden, verslaafd als we zijn aan e-mail en internet, Google, Facebook, blogs en tweets. Zelfs revoluties kunnen via het social network worden gewonnen.Gleick vertelt zijn verhaal aan de hand van biografieën van sleutelfiguren in de geschiedenis van de informatie, van Morse tot Gödel, van Shannon tot Kolmogorov. Een onmisbaar boek voor iedereen die alles wil weten over de manieren waarop we met elkaar informatie uitwisselen.

The author describes how scientists studying the growth of complexity in nature are discovering order and pattern in chaos. He explains concepts such as nonlinearity, the Butterfly Effect, universal constants, fractals, and strange attractors, and examines the work of scientists such as Mitchell J. Feigenbaum, Edward Lorenz, and Benoit Mandelbrot.

"Seemingly unrelated kinds of irregularity take on a new meaning when understood in terms of chaos theory. In Chaos ... James Gleick reveals the science and the scientists behind chaos, telling the story of one of the most significant new waves of scientific knowledge in our time."--Cover.
