[audiobook]
This is a slightly incoherent book, it covers a lot of topics mostly around the creation and transmission of knowledge, somehow without a continuous thread through the book. It jumps around exploring the history of education, the making of books, the reporting of news and the generation of the Internet.
For each topic there is some detail in terms of the histories and components, how things are developed and used.
While there is plenty of good information within, I found the switching of topics a little jarring. I want to know all these things, and I think it would yield more on a second listen, I would like to be able to connect the dots. Maybe it would be better as a paper book you could dip in to, so the juxtapositions of topics would be irrelevant.
Overall, a good collection of knowledge loosely connected by a theme of transmission.
