Scrolling Forward, Second Edition: Making Sense of Documents in the Digital Age by David M. Levy, Ruth Ozeki

3.0

This is well-researched and readable. Even though it's now 15 years old, it doesn't feel dated. And it brings together many topics I'm interested in: book history, reading practices, information science, bureaucratization, literary history, and bibliography. My only quibble, I guess, is that I've encountered all of these subjects before, and this book didn't really add anything new for me. I preferred reading another book in a similar vein, James Gleick's The Information. But for others less familiar with the topics covered, it would be a great overview.
