About The Book

Volume II: The Digital Age & The Network propels the trilogy into the electrified, interconnected present.

As steam and iron’s limitations fade, new forces emerge: electricity and the global digital network.

Explore the dramatic rise of computational power, from the first massive vacuum-tube mainframes to the ubiquitous smartphones that define modern life.

This volume charts the engineering of a global information infrastructure, the development of the internet, the internet of things, and the dawn of artificial intelligence.

It profiles the visionaries and technologists who wired the planet, and details how the ‘network’ has become the central nervous system of global commerce, communication, and culture.

Masterfully covering technical standards, information theory, digital metrics, and critical network policies, Volume II provides the indispensable technical and social context required to understand the defining technologies of our age and sets the stage for the dramatic convergence detailed in Volume III.
