Description

Explore the profound evolution of print culture from the industrial steam press to the digital age in this comprehensive examination of how printing technology has shaped modern society. This book from Routledge challenges contemporary predictions about print's demise by tracing the historical trajectory of print, culture, and technology through rigorous analysis of printing materials, marks, and processes. Drawing parallels to Marshall McLuhan's earlier observations, the author investigates how print culture has been intrinsically linked with the rise of industrial modernity and questions whether digital media truly signals the end of print's cultural relevance. By examining the iconography and materiality of print production, this work provides essential context for understanding how printing has defined modern civilisation and continues to influence communication today.
