The Information

[a History, a Theory, a Flood]
Jun 20, 2011EricaReynolds rated this title 5 out of 5 stars
This book is simply stunning. Gleick manages to build an incredibly compelling narative while flitting amongst inventors, periods, inventions and theories while also imparting so much information, history, science, math and beauty. For anyone who loves information, technology and information science, it's a total experience. It is to be savored and enjoyed over weeks if not years. I strongly recommend the audio version as the reader is wonderful, and it makes a rather dense and heady book easily accessible the first go-around. I am already looking up references and adding new, related books and topics to my to-read list. I expect to re-read and re-enjoy this book many, many times in the future.
