Title: useful nuggets, but a lot of mud
Review: This book is written for an academic audience, and is only of limited relevance to telecom professionals looking for historical perspective on their industry. A sample quote: "Utterance is, for Saussure, the surface expression of a deep-seated mental competence. In Chomskyan terms..."The book's thesis - that today's "information revolution" is actually the result of a long-standing evolutionary process - should hardly be controversial to anyone versed in telecom or the development of new technologies. However, Winston is so set on proving his thesis that it becomes a real chore to follow the historical narrative. There are useful nuggets in here, but you've got to sift through a lot of mud to find them.
