Synopsis

This thought-provoking book posits the Darwinian evolution of the telegraph from its origins in the crude communication technologies of the late 18th century to the revolutionary tool of industry and global communication it became in the 19th century. The author expertly traces the evolution of electrical telegraphy from individual inventors like Wheatstone and Morse, through the challenges of laying undersea cables, to its widespread adoption as part of the global infrastructure that enabled modern international commerce and diplomacy. This book will fascinate anyone interested in the history of technology, industrial development, and the origins of global connectivity that paved the way for today's Internet revolution.
