A brilliant foray into the nature of information, of history, and of making meaning in the face of death and decay.
When world-renowned scholar Thomas S. Mullaney "lost" both his parents, he began thinking of how information—all the stuff that makes us, that we make, and that we leave behind—ultimately disappears. The information that makes up our lives, from mundane official documents, poignant family photos, and sentimental artifacts to the cues embodied in our genes, both defines us, and inevitably decays, no matter the medium. Everything that we put "in formation" eventually collapses into randomness. Never is this more evident than in the wake of a parent's death. Yet from all these elusive, even evanescent, data points, history is written and a future is made.
