The book provides historical insights into the development of the printing press and the impact of mass media. Jarvis introduces the term “Gutenberg Parenthesis,” coined by Danish scholar Lars Ole Sauerberg, to describe the period from the invention of the printing press to the rise of the internet. The author examines how the digital age, which is now closing the parenthesis, has reshaped communication and knowledge production. However, some readers may find the book's perspective on the modern internet to be somewhat US-centric, which could limit its global relevance.
