Rate this book
70多年前,这个星球上极为聪明和智慧的头脑,时常聚集在纽约比克曼酒店,讨论后工业时代层次的科学问题,其中包括冯·诺伊曼、图灵、维纳和香农等人。在一次讨论中作为信息史上划时代的杰出人物香农指出,信息的意义就在于消除对未知世界的不确定性,建立新时代的世界观和方法论。

从20世纪中期开始,信息成为衡量经济发展和科技进步简单而直接的指标,深刻影响和决定着我们的生活。我们能够说得出来的对人类产生巨大影响的发明创造,一大半都和信息有关,包括电报、电话、电影、无线电、大众传媒、计算机、移动通信、卫星技术、互联网等。可以讲,信息技术的发展历史,就是半部技术和商业进步的历史。

本书将信息的发展史分为自发和自觉两个阶段,对信息发展脉络进行了详细地梳理,为我们了解信息的本质和发展规律提供了一个全新的框架和视角。

理解信息不仅有助于我们在工作和生活中进行有效决策,也有助于我们理解未来经济发展的趋势。同时,书中讲述的成功的人、成功的做事方法,也能够为我们提供有益的借鉴和启发,让大家能够获得可重复性的成功和可叠加式的进步。

全书是对信息史的梳理,从电报发明前讲起,到信息学的奠基,再到后来的硅谷,我得以从另一个角度看待这段历史。
