Summary:

Language of Tomorrow' is a comprehensive guide to the history, evolution, and current forms of pictographic communication, charting its course from ancient Egyptian writing systems to modern-day emojis. The book is a culmination of research combining visual communication, semiotic theory, cultural studies, linguistics, artificial intelligence, and new media.0Haytham Nawar presents a cohesive and comprehensive historical framework?covering pictographic, logographic, and ideographic writing systems and scripts?through which we can discuss the future of communication. In his analysis, he explores the possibility of developing a standardized universal pictographic communication system that fosters mutual understanding and bridges diverse cultures. Weaving practice and theory across disciplines and bringing together language, culture, art, and design, 'Language of Tomorrow' aims to locate the direction for the research and development of a transcultural visual communication system for the posthuman era.
