The Discrete Charm of the Machine : Why the World Became Digital /

The genesis of the digital idea and why it transformed civilizationA few short decades ago we were informed by the smooth signals of analog television, radio, and vinyl discs; communicated with our analog telephones; and even computed with analog computers. Today our world is digital, built with zer...
