A journey through the evolution of knowledge, communication, and information. The debut non-fiction book by best-selling author Chris Haughton. History, as it is often taught, is a list of kings and queens and treaties and events. It presents the what and when, but it rarely asks why. Why is it that we had kings and queens at all? Why then all of a sudden did we abandon them and shift to democracies? Why did the world’s religions rise around the same time? Why is society dominated by men? The answers all come down to the same thing: information. The striving to share information, and–at the same time–the striving to undermine it, explains so much of today's world and connects so many seemingly unconnected things: the rise of religions, states, science, democracy, the west, militarism, racism, fascism, consumerism, big tech, polarization, and AI.
