Description

How military and information innovations affect social transformation This book explores how major social transformations are related to four categories of information innovation as well as four categories of military evolution. In The Word and the Sword, the author outlines the effects generated by methods of presenting information, such as writing, printing, and mass media. He also discusses four ways in which applications of violence, such as artillery and steam transport, have created societal change.
