How the Printing Press Turned Information into Power

Описание: Johannes Gutenberg’s printing press is one of the most documented technological revolutions in history.
We explore how movable type accelerated the spread of scientific knowledge, weakened centralized authority, and sparked events like the Reformation and the Scientific Revolution.
Using records from the 15th and 16th centuries, we show why duplicating ideas at scale reshaped global history.
A factual look at the moment information became unstoppable.
