I also enjoyed that book. Tom Standage (@tomstandage) is an interesting guy. He's the editor of the 'back half' of the Economist, the non-news part.

- goatforce5 13y agoOh - he also wrote "The Victorian Internet: The Remarkable Story of the Telegraph and the Nineteenth Century's On-line Pioneers". http://www.amazon.com/dp/0802716040/ http://www.amazon.com/dp/0802716040/ It's interesting and easy to read. Recommended. Looks like he's done a few similar books on historical topics. I'm off to spend some money!
