Can Technology Rescue Reading? (Your Radical Questions with James Marriott)

Amol runs through your questions with the Times columnist James
Marriott. They take on whether we could use technology to
encourage people to do more reading, pessimism on social media,
and whether we risk changing our sense of what it means to be
human when we lose our connection to imaginary worlds in books.
James’s Radio 4 series ‘How Reading Made Us’ is available now on
BBC Sounds.
