HISTORY OF INFORMATION

Understanding the past illuminates the future. This profound conviction guided Chris Haughton throughout this book. Through the lens of information—how it is produced, processed, and shared—the author retraces the entire history of humankind. From the birth of language and writing to the emergence of new technologies, the upheavals have been numerous. We are currently experiencing one of these revolutions in the digital age and with the advent of artificial intelligence, which unsettles, challenges, and transforms the way we interact. This dazzling retrospective immerses us in a visual history that takes us on a journey through time and across all continents.
