Dazzling in its command of both history and literature, The Literature of Connection accomplishes its purpose, which, as Trotter writes in the conclusion, is to demonstrate that the world was ready indeed eager to be connected long before the arrival of the technologies needed to accomplish a culture of connectivity (p. 235). Symbols of restriction and freedom, from signal fires and semaphore on English coasts to airplanes conveying Black airmen, communicate through untold miles and through spaces measured only by human voices speaking face-to-face. -- L. A. Brewer, CHOICE
