圖書描述

James Gleick, the author of the bestsellers Chaos and Genius , brings us his crowning work: a revelatory chronicle that shows how information has become the modern era’s defining quality—the blood, the fuel, the vital principle of our world.

The story of information begins in a time profoundly unlike our own, when every thought and utterance vanished as soon as it was born. From the invention of scripts and alphabets to the long misunderstood “talking drums” of Africa, James Gleick tells the story of information technologies that changed the very nature of human consciousness. He provides portraits of the key figures contributing to the inexorable development of our modern understanding of information: Charles Babbage, the idiosyncratic inventor of the first great mechanical computer; Ada Byron, the poet’s brilliant and doomed daughter, who became the first true programmer; pivotal figures like Samuel Morse and Alan Turing; and Claude Shannon, the creator of information theory itself.

And then the information age comes upon us. Citizens of this world become experts willy-nilly: aficionados of bits and bytes. And they sometimes feel they are drowning, swept by a deluge of signs and signals, news and images, blogs and tweets. The Information is the story of how we got here and where we are heading. It will transform readers’ view of its subject.

著者簡介

James Gleick (born August 1, 1954) is an American author, journalist, and biographer, whose books explore the cultural ramifications of science and technology. Three of these books have been Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award finalists, and they have been translated into more than twenty languages.

Born in New York City, USA, Gleick attended Harvard College, graduating in 1976 with a degree in English and linguistics. Having worked for the Harvard Crimson and freelanced in Boston, he moved to Minneapolis, where he helped found a short-lived weekly newspaper, Metropolis. After its demise, he returned to New York and joined as staff of the New York Times, where he worked for ten years as an editor and reporter.

He was the McGraw Distinguished Lecturer at Princeton University in 1989-90. Gleick collaborated with the photographer Eliot Porter on Nature's Chaos and with developers at Autodesk on Chaos: The Software. In 1993, he founded The Pipeline, an early Internet service. Gleick is active on the boards of the Authors Guild and the Key West Literary Seminar.

His first book, Chaos: Making a New Science, an international best-seller, chronicled the development of chaos theory and made the Butterfly Effect a household phrase.

Among the scientists Gleick profiled were Mitchell Feigenbaum, Stephen Jay Gould, Douglas Hofstadter, Richard Feynman and Benoit Mandelbrot. His early reporting on Microsoft anticipated the antitrust investigations by the U. S. Department of Justice and the European Commission. Gleick's essays charting the growth of the Internet included the "Fast Forward" column on technology in the New York Times Magazine from 1995 to 1999 and formed the basis of his book What Just Happened. His work has also appeared in The New Yorker, the Atlantic, Slate, and the Washington Post.

First Shannon had to eradicate “meaning.” The germicidal quotation marks were his. “The ‘meaning’ of a message is generally irrelevant,” he proposed cheerfully. ( Chpt 7. 8. 9. 12 )

評分

題目過大。如果作者專注於信息理論就好瞭,寫Babbage, Shannon, Wiener, Turing等人的章節都不錯,但後麵扯到熵、遺傳學和網絡文化就給人「熱門科普大雜燴」的感覺。

讀後感

評分

作者试图把信息作为一个独立的对象抽象出来。非洲传递信息的鼓声是比较有意思的一种信息。然后就是对文字的历史的简述。书中一半篇幅讲的是计算机的史前史,从第一台机械计算机说起。又聊到电话电报,熵,基因的基本单位和信息。 个人感觉大致可以把这本书看作一部计算机史前史。

第一次看到这本书时,就被丑陋的腰封给恶心住了,看着“畅销书”,“雷军”,“吴军”这些名字,我第一时间就对本书产生了怀疑:一本如此经典的书确定需要这些噱头?更狗血的是封面上那句话:“告诉我们如何在信息时代的信息爆炸中生存”,拜托,我已无力吐槽,书里面有提这个...

说说这本书的内容本身: 不得不说这是一本即很旧又很新的一本书,说它旧,是因为讲的是历史,如果你是一个科普爱好者,那么书中的大部分主题都应该读到过,或者至少听说过。说它新,是因为它的视角很新,你可能知道书中提到的那些史实,但是未必理解为什么会这样,作者带我们...  

評分

慢慢觉得,非虚构类的书,整体上是告诉你世界是怎么回事儿,又可分两大类:让你知道作者觉得世界是怎么回事儿(比如散文、游记、回忆录、人物传记等),让你知道世界本来是怎么回事儿(科普、历史、地理、人文等等)。 非虚构类的书,跨界阅读都是非常重要的。对于第一种...
