Fascinating history of encyclopedias, from the print versions over Encarta to Wikipedia

5 stars

Great summary of the history of #encyclopedias with lots of fascinating insights and a focus on the #EncyclopædiaBritannica. The final chapters made me aware, that not Wikipedia really ended the printed encyclopedias, but #Encarta from #Microsoft, also one of my first encyclopedias. But of course #Wikipedia finished them all of and there seems to be no possible path for an alternative now...
