From shouted messages to optical fibres, Laszlo Solymar鈥檚 Getting the
Message does a terrific job of giving us the history of communications.

reminder of the unique power of electronic communications to frustrate
dictatorial regimes, and even bring them down. Published by Oxford University
Press, 拢25, ISBN 0198503334.
