The invention of writing was one of the most important technological, cultural, and sociological breakthroughs in human history. With the printed book, information and ideas could disseminate more widely and effectively than ever before—and in some cases, affect and redirect the sway of history. Today, nearly one million books are published each year. But is the era of the book as we know it—a codex of bound pages—coming to an end? And if it is, should we celebrate its demise and the creation of a democratic digital future, or mourn an irreplaceable loss? The digital age is revolutionizing the information landscape. Already, more books have been scanned and digitized than were housed in the great library in Alexandria, making available millions of texts for a curious reader at the click of a button, and electronic book sales are growing exponentially. Will this revolution in the delivery of information and entertainment make for more transparent and far-reaching dissemination or create a monopolistic stranglehold?

In The Case for Books, Robert Darnton, an intellectual pioneer in the field of the history of the book and director of Harvard University's Library, offers an in-depth examination of the book from its earliest beginnings to its shifting role today in popular culture, commerce, and the academy. As an author, editorial advisor, and publishing entrepreneur, Darnton is a unique authority on the life and role of the book in society. This book is a wise work of scholarship—one that requires readers to carefully consider how the digital revolution will broadly affect the marketplace of ideas.

纸质书消亡的说法自从网络出现以来就开始不绝于耳,正如电视出现之后就一直有人在说报纸会消亡一样。人没法在自己活着的时候说自己已经死去,自然更也不会在活着的时候坦然地预言自己会死去;但是吊诡的是,现在却有越来越多的纸质书在谈论着纸质书的消亡。 媒介...

一种媒介不会取代另一种媒介,就像我在的博客hjbrave.blog.163.com发表的文章《信息竞争论》一样。信息在互相竞争,有很多传统的信息虽然没有被取代,但是人们已经不在上面花费时间,投入精力了。现在的信息就像古代皇帝的后宫,妃嫔无数各个等着被主人宠幸。没有竞争力的虽然...

纸质书还有未来么? 我们常听到这样一种说法:在数字时代,纸质书是多余的。不过,我们似乎还没有看到其式微的迹象——(英国)每年新出版的图书很快就会达到100万种。在这本关于图书的过去和未来的文集中,罗伯特•达恩顿(Robert Darnton)指出,纸质书有很多实际的优点:...

书名和章节标题都很好,但是严重文不对题。我觉得作者根本没有讨论阅读未来的意愿,只是挂着幌子怀旧罢了。
