You could have written many a book. You're someone that's, I think, broadly curious about the nature of life, but also the nature of history.

For you to write a book that is so detailed and comprehensive, there must have been a pretty strong reason why this book had to come from you now.

It's a book about the long-term history of information networks.

I think that to understand what is really new and important about AI, we need perspective of thousands of years to go back and look at previous information revolutions, like the invention of writing and the printing press and the radio.
