description: Many scientists regard mass and energy as the primary currency of nature. In recent years however the concept of information has gained importance. Why? In this book eminent scientists philosophers and theologians chart various aspects of information from quantum information to biological and digital information in order to understand how nature works. Beginning with a historical treatment of the topic the book also examines physical and biological approaches to information and its philosophical theological and ethical implications.
