    “Perspectives on the shift from oral culture to literate culture. Fascinating philosophical and historical approach to thinking about how the technology of words (an alphabet in this case) alters what can be done with those words. I found it full of fascinating ideas about the shape of the future to come with computers approximating human conversation.”
