1. Information
The New Language of Science
An accessible tour of how the concept of information has become a unifying language across science, explaining bits, entropy, and communication theory and showing how they illuminate thermodynamics, quantum measurement, genetics, and black holes—from Maxwell’s demon to modern computation. Through vivid examples and thought experiments, it argues that information is as fundamental as energy and matter, reshaping our understanding of reality, technology, and the limits of knowledge.
