The Digital Revolution Vs Printed Text | Book Wars (John B. Thompson) BOOK REVIEW

from Mere Mortals Book Reviews · host Kyrin Down & Juan Granados

How much has the digital revolution changed the publishing industry?'Book Wars' by John B. Thompson is an overview of how the internet and digitisation of books changed the publishing industry. It mostly covers the 2005-2018 period when Ebooks started gain popularity and momentum. It goes into extreme depth so be prepared to read through a lot of history, which makes it a comprehensive book. I quite enjoyed it for the unexpected outcomes that ran counter to intuition but also found it tedious at times to keep going through.Only one boostagram from Brian D O'Leary this week (which is very much appreciated). You are actually making a sad puppy :'( But I do appreciate the comments on the YT channel.Timeline:(0:00) - Intro(2:15) - Initial Impression(3:26) - Plot/Style(6:06) - Quote 1(8:33) - Themes/Questions(15:07) - Quote 2(22:55) - Author & Extras(26:34) - Quote 3(30:04) - Summary(34:22) - Boostagram Lounge(36:52) - Value 4 ValueValue 4 Value Support:Boostagram: https://www.meremortalspodcast.com/supportPaypal: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/meremortalspodcastConnect with Mere Mortals:Website: https://www.meremortalspodcast.com/Discord: https://discord.gg/jjfq9eGReUTwitter/X: https://twitter.com/meremortalspodInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/meremortalspodcast/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@meremortalspodcastConnect With Cole McCormick (Voice Actor):Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/colemccormick1Podcast: https://fountain.fm/show/6705669
