A Good History of Telecommunications,
By
This review is from: Lights, Camera, War: Is Media Technology Driving International Politics? (Hardcover)
While the focus of this book tends to be the mix of telecommunication AND politics, Neuman does a great job at giving a history lesson. This book came out during the high point of internet hype - and Johanna Neuman did a great job of pointing out that previous technology breakthroughs (like the telegraph) really did change the world. Until I read this book I had overlooked the revolution of the now humble space satellite without which we wouldn't have CNN. This book would be a GREAT read for anyone into history, politics and technology. If you haven't read "Lights, Camera, War" dont wait for the publisher to get it into paperback, do yourself a favor and buy a used copy!
