The end of the book is not the end of the world

A reflection on the future of knowledge, beginning with the book Spostiamo di un millimetro la storia by Marino Sinibaldi (Edizioni Laterza).

Now that the book has lost the centrality it had for centuries, what does the near future, in a time of dispersion of knowledge, dissolving hierarchies and the weakening of cultural mediation, reserve for us? New forms of writing, communication and transmission of knowledge and emotions, formed principally by the web, will emerge. Cultural mediators will change. It will be something that does not belong to our way of thinking, to our generation. We are facing a Copernican revolution whose outcome is still unknown.
