Communication explores how humans have shared ideas and connected with one another throughout history, from early alphabets and symbols to art, semaphore, and artificial intelligence.
Animals communicate in many different ways, but humans have developed uniquely complex systems of language and symbolism to express thoughts, emotions, and abstract ideas. Communication has helped us advance science, create music and art, and build societies across the world. As our need to connect across greater distances grew, we invented new technologies, from writing systems to the Internet. In fact, communication is part of almost everything we do each day — whether we are talking, reading, listening, writing, interpreting traffic signs, or understanding body language. Richly illustrated, this book explores the fascinating history of communication in all its forms, from the ancient world to the age of AI.
