摘要

If readers read only one book this year, it should be James Gleick's history of information. This for two reasons: first, because we all live in a world of information from our smart phones, iPads, and immersion in music and images that absorbs more of our lives than we care to admit. Second, as communication scholars, we will do well to understand better our historical connections with the beginnings of this flood. The author makes a compelling argument from his Prologue that the crucial moment in the start of the information era began in 1948. At Bell Labs the two events of that year encompassed, first, the creation of the transistor by William Shockley and his team that made the present information economy possible; but more important in the author's opinion was the second: the publication of Claude Shannon's "The Mathematical Theory of Communication" in the Bell System Technical Journal (and the next year as a book by the same title with and added chapter by Warren Weaver who helped explain the highly mathematical theory more in layman's terms) (Shannon & Weaver, 1949).
