About This Event

WHY READ BOOKS?

Seth Lerer, Leah Price, and Hans Ulrich Gumbrecht (moderator)

At a time when people express concern about the fate of the book, we join three
virtuoso scholars--Seth Lerer, Leah Price, and Hans Ulrich Gumbrecht--who are
intimately familiar with the life of the mind nurtured by the bound printed word. How
has the book changed history? Are engagements with books different from engagements
with other media? How do new technologies transform the way we think and learn? What
is happening to life and learning as attention shifts from page to screen? What is
gained and what is lost if we neglect interaction through books?
