互联网连通世界。现代人不用出门,上网就能买到自己想要的;隔壁时区的小伙伴,一起来打王者荣耀吧;有啥想说的话,微信、QQ、朋友圈,随发随显……想想我们的老祖宗,生活在遥远的古代,信息闭塞、消息难递,一封家书抵万金……到了100多年前,他们终于忍不住了:我们要更快速...
评分作者斯坦迪奇很善于从普通的事物中探寻历史发展规律,他的《六个瓶子中的历史》、《舌尖上的历史》分别从饮品和食物的视角展现人类社会的发展进步历程,读起来令人耳目一新。 也许是出于营销的考虑,译者为本书加了一个颇具违和感的标题——维多利亚时代的互联网,而实际内容则...

"A fascinating walk through a pivotal period in human history."--USA Today
For many people, the Internet is the epitome of cutting-edge technology. But in the nineteenth century, the first online communications network was already in place--the telegraph. And at the time, it was just as perplexing, controversial, and revolutionary as the Internet is today.
The Victorian Internet tells the story of the telegraph's creation and remarkable impact, and of the visionaries, oddballs, and eccentrics who pioneered it. With the invention of the telegraph, the world of communications was forever changed. The telegraph gave rise to creative business practices and new forms of crime. Romances blossomed over its wires. And attitudes toward everything from news gathering to war had to be completely rethought. The saga of the telegraph offers many parallels to that of the Internet in our own time, and is a remarkable episode in the history of technology.
* Illustrated throughout
* A masterful, lively blend of science and history, in the bestselling tradition of Longitude
