About this audiobook

The invention that changed the world—how did the printing press spark a revolution in knowledge? Before the printing press, books were painstakingly copied by hand, limiting access to knowledge. Johannes Gutenberg’s invention in the 15th century transformed the world by making books more accessible, fueling the Renaissance, Reformation, and Scientific Revolution. This book explores how printing spread across Europe, democratized information, and challenged authority. From newspapers to digital publishing, the impact of the printing press is still felt today. If you love books and the history of ideas, this book is for you.
