"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

"Fascinating...If you've ever hankered for a perspective on media Net hype, this book is for you."--Wired

"What hath God wrought?"(意譯應該是“快看上帝創造瞭什麼啊?!”) 1844年5月24日,電報和電碼的發明者摩斯,坐在華盛頓最高法院的會議室裏,顯然是急於嚮華盛頓政要門炫耀他的發明。 但這距離摩斯第一次帶著他的電報機來到華盛頓,已經過去瞭六年。摩斯花瞭這六年時間,纔...

從早期的觀感性電報(查普的擺臂式,技術上顯然沒有英國的6開關先進……)到通過電綫傳導信號,到全球電報網絡的建立,奠定瞭後續乃至今天的信息化基礎。 有趣的幾個趕腳: 摩爾斯和庫剋,一美一英兩個電流式電報機發明者,都是非科班齣身的所謂民科;而跨洋電報綫路的創始者菲...

互聯網連通世界。現代人不用齣門,上網就能買到自己想要的;隔壁時區的小夥伴,一起來打王者榮耀吧;有啥想說的話,微信、QQ、朋友圈,隨發隨顯……想想我們的老祖宗,生活在遙遠的古代,信息閉塞、消息難遞,一封傢書抵萬金……到瞭100多年前,他們終於忍不住瞭:我們要更快速...

作者斯坦迪奇很善於從普通的事物中探尋曆史發展規律,他的《六個瓶子中的曆史》、《舌尖上的曆史》分彆從飲品和食物的視角展現人類社會的發展進步曆程,讀起來令人耳目一新。 也許是齣於營銷的考慮,譯者為本書加瞭一個頗具違和感的標題——維多利亞時代的互聯網,而實際內容則...
