Summary/Abstract: Review of a book answering the question what exactly is information? Gleick takes the reader from the first communication systems such as tom-toms, up to the present day, when we all unconsciously have become experts in everything, and the problem is not the lack of information, but its excess. Gleick mentions some of the forgotten geniuses and visionaries responsible for how we understand the information today and how we use it.
