The Victorian Internet
In This Edition of Reviews WonderWalker, a global online wunderkammer

      This story of the early days of electrical experimentation leads off The Victorian Internet, a fascinating story of the telegraph by Tom Standage, a journalist who writes for The Economist. Thankfully, Standage makes the point that the telegraph was the Internet of it's age, but then lets the metaphor drop and tells the story of the spread of the telegraph on it's own terms.
