Why shouldn't information be able to exceed the speed of light? It has no mass, or anything else but significance, and that only to observers. It does strike me, as an ignorant layman, that if you have a system that transmits one of two states that it may be possible to rig it up to create a boolean state machine and all that implies.

Superluminal message transmission would allow us to send messages to our past or future. Assuming that everyone has read their fair share of science fiction, there's no need to go into the acausal paradoxes that arise. Russell
