Two videos below of Alan Jacobs.
In the first one he informally talks about his new book The Pleasures of Reading in an Age of Distraction. (The introduction takes 4.5 minutes.)
In the second he lectures on his work-in-progress thoughts on “Christianity and the Future of the Book.” (The introduction takes 2 minutes.) He looks at reading in the time of Jesus, the transformation of scrolls to codex to e-Readers, how technology impacts reading, and more.
