  • Summary

  • What if a wine press, a goldsmith, and a few metal letters changed the world forever?

    This is the thrilling story of how printing didn’t just make books faster—it sparked revolutions, rewired languages, fueled scientific breakthroughs, and gave voice to rebels, reformers, and dreamers. From the forgotten Korean monks who printed books decades before Gutenberg, to the underground networks smuggling radical ideas across borders, to the rise of eBooks and AI-powered writing today—this journey reveals how the printed word became humanity’s most powerful force for change.

    Curious how an idea could go viral in the 1500s? Or how one machine helped build modern nations, science, and the fight for freedom?

    Then you’re ready for Part II: The Press that Changed the World.
