Comments: (Description by Jeen Yu) Detailed and extensive study of writing technologies from manuscript culture to the advent of print, to modern-day electronic writing. Examines new and old "writing spaces" (manuscript, book, computer); divided into three sections: "The Visual Writing Space," "The Conceptual Writing Space," and "The Mind as Writing Space." Argues that electronic writing is both radical and traditional because "it is mechanical and precise like printing, organic and evolutionary like handwriting...[but] on the other hand is fluid and dynamic to a greater degree than any previous technique."
