reading about the early history of printing. i didn’t realize it was a boom and bust industry. most printers went broke. gutenberg did in his first year so: - new tech - giganerds (latin/greek scholars) - financial chaos - hostile state/church - “nothing new” (books were 1000s of years old) sound familiar?
