Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The late 20th century is trumpeted as the Information Age by pundits and politicians, but in this text, the authors challenge this widespread assumption. In a sweeping history of information technology from the ancient Sumerians to the world of Alan Turing and John von Neumann, the authors show how revolutions in the technology of information storage - from the invention of writing 5000 years ago to the mathematical models for describing physical reality in the 17th and 18th centuries to the introduction of computers - profoundly transformed ways of thinking. The late 20th century has been named the Information Age, but the authors of this text challenge this idea in a sweeping history of information technology from the ancient Sumerians to the world of Alan Turing. They show how revolutions in information storage transformed ways of thinking. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
