Bookclub Review

The Information by James Gleick. This is a rewarding book. Our Non-Fiction Group was dazzled by the intellectual breadth and depth of learning it displays, and we particularly enjoyed the personal histories of pivotal inventors who stood at the cradle of the information age, such as Ada Byron. This book makes an excellent gift for people working in IT, telecommunications, or computer science, as it gives human context to what can otherwise be rather formal data. Rated 4 out of 5.
