Listen "Steve Wasserman, “Do Books Have a Future in the Digital Age?”"
Episode Synopsis
Is the Age of Gutenberg finished? Has the Internet now become so widespread as to render books obsolete? Are publishers dinosaur institutions? Is the crisis of American literacy also a crisis of American democracy? Does it matter? Steve Wasserman, former editor of the Los Angeles Times Book Review, will argue that books will survive as long as the human species is defined by its opposable thumb and its obsessive need to tell each other stories.
