The Telephone Changed the World

This article is part of a press tour for a new book. Another interview here: https://www.npr.org/2026/11/14/nx-s1-6037416/hello-james-gle...

Telegraph seems like the more significant milestone, but putting that in the title of a book wouldn't sell many copies.

HN title-mangler strikes again:

“How the Telephone Changed the World”

(Though in this rare instance the the title still makes some sense.)
