James Gleick traces the evolution of human communication from the invention of African talking drums and the development of alphabets to the modern digital era. By examining the intellectual lineage of information theory, the narrative explores how humanity has transitioned from an age of scarcity to an overwhelming flood of data, fundamentally altering our perception of knowledge and reality.
