Rezension

"Information always has a modern ring to it, but as we enter the AI revolution, we would do well to remember that many of the basic challenges we face today have roots that lead back to antiquity. This essential book shows just how deeply the origins of the modern information revolution are rooted in the past."

Jacob Soll, University Professor and Professor of Philosophy, History, and Accounting, University of Southern California, USA

"This is a refreshingly broad compilation, one which offers a provocative look across information-related practices, delving into cultural and historical specificities as a way to ensure that information history emerges at large as a vital area of study."

Lisa Gitelman, Professor of English and Media, Culture, and Communication, New York University, USA
