Ebook: Informatica: Mastering Information through the Ages

Shannon Christine Mattern, The New School, author of Code and Clay, Data and Dirt:

"An astonishingly wide-ranging book, Glut shows how the organization and management of information is simultaneously social, technical, political, economic, and environmental. In a series of engaging, chronologically organized tales, Alex Wright synthesizes evolutionary biology, archaeology, history of science, history of the book, intellectual history, and information studies."
