At the same time history repeats itself; worries about books and reading habits extend back far further than the information age.
Celina Fox has come out with a new very interesting and impressive book;
The Arts of Industry in the Age of Enlightenment. (would love to have it as a gift)
The book adjusts the balance of one's understanding of the 18th century away from high society towards the trades.

For anyone who wants to know more about the intellectual origins of industrialisation and the social ideas that led to design innovation, this book covers a very broad territory according to Financial Times
