The Gutenberg parenthesis : the age of print and its lessons for the age of the internet
Jarvis, Jeff, 1954-2023
Books
'The Gutenberg Parenthesis' traces the epoch of print from its fateful beginnings to our digital present - and draws out lessons for the age to come. The age of print is a grand exception in history. For five centuries it fostered what some call print culture - a worldview shaped by the completeness, permanence, and authority of the printed word. As a technology, print at its birth was as disruptive as the digital migration of today. Now, as the Internet ushers us past print culture, journalist Jeff Jarvis offers important lessons from the era we leave behind.
