Summary:
"From
Gutenberg
to
Zuckerberg
is a clear-eyed history of one of the most central, and yet most taken-for-granted, features of modern life: the
internet
. Once a technological novelty and now the very plumbing of the information
age
, the
internet
is something we have learned to take largely for granted. So, how exactly has our society become so dependent upon a utility it barely understands? And what does it say about us that this is so? While explaining in highly engaging language the way the
internet
works and how it got to be the way it is, technologist John Naughton has distilled the noisy chatter surrounding the technology's relentless evolution into nine essential areas of understanding. In doing so, he affords readers deeper insight into the information economy and supplies the requisite knowledge to make better use of the technologies and networks around us, highlighting some of their fascinating and far-reaching implications along the way."--From publisher.
