Avatars of the Word: From Papyrus to Cyberspace
James J. O'Donnell
O’Donnell takes a reading on the promise and the threat of electronic technology for our literate future. He reinterprets today’s communication revolution through a series of refracted comparisons with earlier revolutionary periods: the transition from oral to written culture, from the papyrus scroll to the codex, from copied manuscript to print.
