3 quotes from The Information

  • "Information is a kind of power. It’s like money. It can be wielded for good or for evil."
  • "The history of information is about the history of transformations: changing the perception of reality and compressing the vast into the small."
  • "We are living in a world that is less and less about reality and more and more about information."
