From Clay Tablets to Code: A Global History of Books
from Intellectually Curious · host Mike Breault
A guided tour of how the book evolved—from Mesopotamian clay tablets and Egyptian scrolls to the codex, movable type, steam presses, libraries, ISBNs, and the Kindle era. We trace the social and technological shifts that made books portable, accessible, and influential—and how censorship, accessibility, and digital media continue to reshape the way we record and share knowledge.Note: This podcast was AI-generated, and sometimes AI can make mistakes.
