Review
“He is the most industrious historian of all time. The Power of Knowledge is his 108th book. It is apposite that he should quote Sherlock Holmes on his brother Mycroft: 'All other men are specialists, but his specialism is omniscience.' Black is the Mycroft of historiography.”—Daniel Johnson, The Times
(The Times

“Jeremy Black’s new book is a massive compendium of facts that suggestively interrogates the entanglement between information and western modernity. . .His impressive survey takes in censuses, literary rates, medicine, time-keeping, trains, telegraphs and space-shuttles, the Holocaust, the Star Wars films, and, of course, the internet.”—Dr Aileen Fyfe,
BBC History Magazine (Dr Aileen Fyfe

“Fluency and wide-ranging erudition are conspicuously on display in The Power of Knowledge, an ambitious, synoptic, "big idea" book that is likely to extend the frontiers of Mr. Black's audience in this country.”—Roger Kimball, The Wall Street Journal
