“The Information” is a new book written by James Gleick. It tells the story of the human effort to store, access, and communicate information. It also discusses new information theories, as well as a historic review of early messaging techniques and forms of information storage. The prompt sent to me from Carrie Lyle at The Washington Post was quite open, and the book provided a multitude of visual options to work with. “The Information” is a book about information, communication, and the key to unlocking many kingdoms of human interaction. Here is a link to a review of “The Information” written by Anthony Grafton. Thanks Carrie!
