Description
You signed without reading. Today, yesterday, three hours ago. Sixty-four pages of legal text governing your digital life, and you hit accept without looking at a single line. But that is exactly what a fourteenth-century peasant did when the priest read him the Mass in Latin. He did not understand a word. He said amen because amen had always been said. The distance between that peasant and you is considerably smaller than it seems. This book covers it all: from the scribes who invented writing to control, not to liberate, to the algorithms that filter your reality without your knowledge and without knowing themselves why they do it.
