Description
Book Was There: Reading in Electronic Times explores the history of reading and its connection to physical media. Andrew Piper examines how our experiences with books have shaped our relationship with reading, from medieval manuscript books to modern digital formats.
Piper draws on his own observations as a parent watching his children learn to read in an e-reader world. He argues that understanding the rich history of reading can provide unexpected insights into the future of books and reading. This thought-provoking essay reveals how our experiences with reading materials are intertwined with our lives, and how this connection can help us navigate the changing landscape of reading.
