Description

The debut non-fiction book from bestselling author and illustrator Chris Haughton that takes readers on an illuminating journey through the evolution of knowledge and communication. We are used to technology improving all the time. Next year we will have better phones, cars, and technology.

What is it that makes technology improve rather than stay static or even fall into decline?

The answer is information. If we are able to record knowledge we can collect and share it.

We can continue adding to it and it grows and grows.

It hasn't always been like this. For a long time, human progress was very slow or static.

At some points it felt like our progress even ran backwards!

But the ability to record information in the form of writing and collecting data has caused an explosion of technological progress.

This book tells the story of how we came to collect information, and what it means for us. From the world renowned Chris Haughton, the creator of such books as OH NO, GEORGE!, A BIT LOST, and SHHH, WE HAVE A PLAN!

The History of Information is a one-of-a-kind book that explores the history of information throughout human history.
