Pliny the Elder is widely considered as the first encyclopedist, but the first modern encyclopedia was produced by Denis Diderot in the Eighteenth Century. We can see the links between these great old encyclopedias of knowledge and the displacement of the Encyclopedia Britannica by Wikipedia, and the new questions that have arisen out of the digitization of information in the information age. I also take a look at Voyager One and the contents of this interstellar encyclopedia.
