Thadd's Reviews > The Gutenberg Galaxy: The Making of Typographic Man

An astonishing book, a dry one, about the effects of the Gutenberg press, a device that shocked the church, brought about new religions, started wars and changed the human race. In different sections, the Greeks complain that more books will make readers lazy. Readers won't have to memorize a book because the presence of more books will make that unnecessary. In other sections, the author talks about the fact that Balinese plays, not books, teach the Balinese what is right and wrong.
