Everything Everywhere Daily

Episode • Jun 10, 2024 • 15m

Books are one of the foundational tools of civilization. They allow us to pass knowledge and information between people who don’t know each other, and their compact form allows knowledge to be transported across vast distances.

Learn more about books, where they came from, and how they’ve changed on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
