Book Summary

The Victorian Internet by Tom Standage is a popular history book that tells the story of the telegraph, the revolutionary communication technology of the 19th century. Standage compares the development of the telegraph with the rise of the modern Internet. He explains how the telegraph made it possible to send messages quickly across long distances, dramatically changing business, journalism, politics, and personal communication. The book also describes the people who developed and promoted the technology, especially Samuel Morse and other pioneers. Through this comparison, Standage shows that many issues associated with the Internet today—such as rapid communication, online communities, technological excitement, misinformation, and new forms of crime—also existed during the age of the telegraph.
