Krátky popis
The world we knew is passing away and nothing will ever be the same
again. Welcome to the post-literate society. Books are dying.
Across the world the number of people reading is in free fall.
Literacy is declining or stagnating in most developed countries. At
universities, students are unable to read the books assigned to
them. Addictive digital entertainment technologies have colonised
our free time with infantilising ‘slop’. For the first time since
the collapse of the Western Roman Empire ushered in the Dark Ages,
the golden chain of knowledge linking reader to reader through the
centuries is breaking. The decline in reading is the most important
cultural shift of our time.The New Dark Ages is an impassioned
defence of the written word and an attack on the trivial and
meaningless culture of the screen. Drawing on history and classic
works of literature and theory, The New Dark Ages argues that
reading and writing are essential for innovation, creativity and
critical thinking.Above all, the culture of print is essential to
the functioning of modern democracies which require their citizens
to grapple with ideas at length and in depth. And as print dies, we
risk returning to the chaos, tribalism, and rage of a pre-literate
society.
