If the ancient Greek philosopher Socrates came to life again today, he would wonder how airplanes fly and light bulbs glow, but not wonder much about the world’s political and social changes that took place since his time. The author puts himself in the position of explaining to Socrates the technological fundamentals behind all our modern conveniences . Since he takes Socrates seriously, the author accepts the challenge of introducing the relevant mathematical and technical concepts, and he does so in a remarkably easy-tounderstand and accurate way. The result is a comprehensive overview of the elements of our technical civilization, an overview properly based upon elementary but solid mathematical and scientific principles. Everyone with an inclination toward science and technology can take advantage of the clear structure, the comprehensive presentation and the many wonderfully-illustrated examples of the book.

Das Anliegen dieses Werkes unterscheidet sich von vielen anderen dadurch, daß die Informationstechnik nicht aus der Sicht der materiell-energetischen Realisierung, also nicht unter dem Aspekt der zur Verfügung stehenden physikalischen Effekte und der dabei auftretenden technischen Probleme behandelt wird. Vielmehr beschreibt der Autor die informationellen Strukturen als Grundlage der Informationstechnik, quasi von einem übergeordneten Standpunkt, der von dem jeweiligen Stand der Technik oder der speziellen Realisierungsform abstrahiert. So wie ein Physikbuch die Erkenntnisse der materiall-energetischen Welt vermittelt, die durch die Ingenieurwissenschaften in technische Produkte umgesetzt werden, soll dieses Werk die Strukturen der informationellen Welt als Grundlage für die Informationstechnik bereitstellen. Damit entsteht ein Gesamtbild der Informationstechnik, das einem breiten Leserkreis ein vertieftes Verständnis der Zusammenhänge ermöglichen soll.
