The Victorian Internet tells the colorful story of the telegraph's creation and remarkable impact, and of the visionaries, oddballs, and eccentrics who pioneered it, from the eighteenth-century French scientist Jean-Antoine Nollet to Samuel F. B. Morse and Thomas Edison. The electric telegraph nullified distance and shrank the world quicker and further than ever before or since, and its story mirrors and predicts that of the Internet in numerous ways.

HauskaInformatiivinenInspiroivaIf you're interested in an entertaining piece of history, this is definitely worth the listen. It explains the technology of telegraphs, and puts them in their context in evolution of technology, in society, in people's private lives and in business. Full of anecdotes and funny, vivid stories of love, crimes and foolishness on the wires, I had a great time with this book.
