The advent of the computer has closed a chapter in history and opened a new one, which is still taking its first steps. From this starting point, the authors of this book have retraced the history of printing back to Gutenberg and its other great protagonists: from Giambattista Bodoni to Virginia Woolf, from Claude Garamond to Franco Maria Ricci, without forgetting the audacious experiments of the Futurists. A story packed with history, traditions, curiosities, social and cultural references, and as gripping as a novel.
