The Future of the Book

Noted author Umberto Eco delivered a speech on 10/11/03 at the Library of Alexandria on the future of books in which he stated:

  • “Libraries, all over the centuries, have been the most important way to keep our collective wisdom. They were and still are a sort of universal brain where we can retrieve what we have forgotten and what we still do not know. If you allow me to use such a metaphor, a library is the best possible imitation, by human beings, of a divine mind, where the whole universe is viewed and understood at the same time.”
