This review is from: Empire and Communications (Paperback)
This book provides a wonderful examination of how emerging communication technologies impact the society that spawned them. Each major media advance (papyrus, parchment, paper, the printing press) causes major shifts in the social paradigms of the societies that adopt its use... definately worth the read. This edition has an afterword by Dr. David Godfrey regarding the impact of the electronic form.

By The Bulletin Broad (Bakersfield, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Empire and Communications (Critical Media Studies: Institutions, Politics, and Culture) (Paperback)
Brilliant book, a tough read but worth the effort. Stunningly prophetic about how media companies still don't get digital media and want to control information. Buy it, read it, ask (nicely at first) for a digital version to honor his life's work.
