Description
In The Specter of the Archive, Nicholas Popper examines the rise of paper in early modern Britain and its profound impact on politics and society. While modern eras are often defined by an abundance of data, this work shows that earlier periods faced similar challenges in managing an overwhelming influx of information. As paper became a light and durable technology, it allowed statesmen to record drafts, memoranda, and other ephemeral documents. This proliferation created a society newly dealing with the consequences of an information state. This book provides a deep look at how the spread of paper technology changed the way political practice functioned during this transformative era.
