The information : a history, a theory, a flood / James Gleick.

• Drums that talk -- The persistence of the word -- Two wordbooks -- To throw the powers of thought into wheel-work -- A nervous system for the earth -- New wires, new logic -- Information theory -- The informational turn -- Entropy and its demons -- Life's own code -- Into the meme pool -- the sense of randomness -- Information is physical -- After the flood -- New news every day. 

• 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.
