Publisher's Summary
George Gilder is one of the great technological visionaries, and "the man who put the 's' in telecosm" (Telephony magazine). He is equally famous for understanding and predicting the nuts and bolts of complex technologies, and for putting it all together in a soaring view of why things change, and what it means for our daily lives. His track record of futuristic predictions is one of the best, often proving to be right even when initially opposed by mighty corporations and governments. He foresaw the power of fiber and wireless optics, the decline of the telephone regime, and the explosion of handheld computers, among many trends. His long-awaited Telecosm is a bible of the new age of communications. Equal parts science story, business history, social analysis, and prediction, it is the one book you need to make sense of the titanic changes underway in our lives.

A great book that blends history, concepts and telecommunications
Overall I think this audio book was exceptional with the only downside being that if you don’t like the narrator then you will struggle. If you did struggle, I urge you to push past it or get a paperback version of this book.
Onto why I think this is exceptional:
The overall structure begins with explaining the concepts of how communication works, then onto business concepts and then followed by history of how various sources of the current telecommunications world came to be.
Even in 2021, this book is fantastic at providing a background knowledge of telecommunications up to 2000, which if you’re someone who works in this industry and wanted to know the history and concepts in more depth, then this book hits the nail on the head.
