Must Read for Today
Standage does an excellent job bringing the details of the telegraph to life in a way that is informative, educational, and accessible. The book helps us better understand the intricate and inescapable relationships between media of communication and time and space. The reader will know how our creation of, and experiences with, time and space change with every significant change in how we create, store, and disseminate information.
