The Unseen Revolution: A World Without the Printing Press
About this episode
In this episode, we delve into the heart of the 15th century to explore a world without Johannes Gutenberg's invention of the printing press. We examine how this pivotal innovation transformed society, spread literacy, and democratized knowledge. Then, we construct an alternate timeline where the printing press was never invented, exploring its implications on education, religion, science, and the course of human civilization.
