Summary

Books are one of the foundational tools of civilization. They allow us to pass knowledge and information between people who don’t know each other, and their compact form allows knowledge to be transported across vast distances. Their permanence allows information to be sent across time such that centuries might separate a writer from a reader. But how did books develop, and in the modern world, is a book still a book if it's purely digital? Learn more about books, where they came from, and how they’ve changed on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
