The Writing Code

We are born with language, but writing had to be invented. The Writing Code explores the creation of civilization's greatest achievement. Where was writing created and why? Join us on this fascinating journey as The Writing Code traces the origins and evolution of writing with authors (Elmore Leonard & Margaret Atwood), linguists (George Miller & Steven Pinker), historians, editors, anthropologists, book makers, a mathematician (Charles Seife) and a physicist who prefers to write with a quill pen—Neil deGrasse Tyson.
