The debut non-fiction audiobook 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 audiobook 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 audiobook that explores the history of information throughout human history.

Kritikerstimmen

This mind-expanding nonfiction book for 9+ examines the history of information-sharing via cave art, oral storytelling, print, postal networks, propaganda and computing, with Haughton’s characteristic graphic artwork effortlessly distilling complex concepts. An exciting, ambitious departure from an author best known for classic picture books. (Imogen Russell Williams)
This ambitious book is as dense and complex as it is captivating and accessible.
Beautiful, informative and quietly revolutionary
I highly recommend The History of Information by Chris Haughton, one of the best non-fiction books I've ever read...an outstanding book by an award winning Irish author and illustrator. (Sarah Webb)
A non-fiction read in a category of its own: Incredibly ambitious and masterfully delivered…Haughton’s graphic illustrations distil complex topics into understandable concepts. This is a meaty read with so much to get one’s teeth into, it’s a great pick for anyone more interested in fact than fiction.
A must-read for adults, children and young people trying to process the constant bombardment of online information. This is a beautifully designed book that charts technological progress through the centuries. It explains the way that communication shapes our view of the world, from the inception of language through to mass communication, propaganda and AI. I’m completely in awe of it.
