Die Große Zukunft Des Buches by Umberto Eco

A thoughtful, essayistic exploration of how changing technologies reshape what we call a book and how people read, arguing that while formats and distribution will shift, the cultural functions of books—transmitting knowledge, framing narratives, and shaping interpretation—will persist; the book examines tensions between print and digital forms, the evolving roles of authors, editors and readers, and the ways editorial practices, institutions and semiotic structures mediate continuity and innovation in textual life.
