Journalist and author James Gleick has theorized about the cultural ramifications of computers and the Internet since Apple screens were black and green. His 1987 Pulitzer Prize finalist, Chaos , helped popularize the term "the Butterfly Effect," and his work on the 1995 Microsoft anti-trust case and his New York Times Magazine Fast Forward column put him directly at the hyperactive intersection of technology, commerce, and government.



In his new book, The Information: A History, a Theory, a Flood, Gleick expands the concepts he's been wrestling with in his work all along to philosophize about the history of how humans communicate information to one another.
