From Gutenberg to Google: How Today’s Boom in Conspiracy Theories Mirrors the Post Printing Press Era
Update: 2025-08-06
Description
James Keys and Tunde Ogunlana reflect on an interesting point made in Yuval Noah Harari’s book “Nexus,” about the witch hunting era in Europe following the spread of the printing press and how that time shared many of the characteristics we see in our modern, post Internet society. The guys also discuss whether, in light of how things turned out in the witch hunting era, we should be more worried about where the information environment in this post Internet era may take us.
