A long time ago (1990) Tom Stonier wrote an expansive and thought-provoking book on Information Physics (http://www.amazon.com/Information-Internal-Structure-Univers...)

I'd never seen anything quite like it at the time. So while it's certainly a 'new approach' to science, it's not exactly 'new'. It's not fair to be dead and forgotten...



It's definitely not strictly "new", but I read a sense of a broader historical narrative in which the current time will at some point be considered the infancy of information physics.


Fred Kantor wrote a book called "Information Mechanics" in 1976, which treats the same topic.


That sent me to the link to look and I was slapped down by the price. It says it was to be part of a trilogy. I see other books by him too, but did they conclude the trilogy or did he die before finishing?
