ik heb echt een APPELTJE TE SCHILLEN met dit boek
- slecht geschreven
- totaal geen onderscheid van hoofd en bijzaken
- voor een sociale geschiedenis hoef ik echt niet te weten hoe een fucking microprocessor werkt
- sowieso weinig cultuurhistorisch
- legt uit wat een selfie is
- had 150 pagina's korter kunnen zijn
- tijdverspilling!

Was assigned this text as part of a "History of the Book" course, focusing on Library and Information Sciences. I have to say, the writing was a bit bland for my taste -- I know, I know, academic books get a bad name and too many complain about the tone or the writing but, in this case, it was not great and did not further pique my interest on the topic(s) at hand. It could be because of the e-book version I received, but I found there was a lack of secondary citation/research that was... odd? Again, could have been the weird 'inclusive access' book my university was peddling but, it was just different as an academic experience.

Some interesting historical notes throughout.
