Codex - Paperback

by David Haeselin (Contribution by), Sheila Liming (Contribution by), Thora Brylowe (Contribution by)

Micah Bloom's Codex examines the fate of books in the aftermath of the 2011 Minot flood. It is an ambitious project that flows across a wide range of media (digital text, video, hardcover, and paperback), embraces archaeological sensibilities, and speaks simultaneously to universal and profoundly local experiences. Presented with a group of nine original essays from scholars, thinkers, and historians, Codex represents a sustained meditation on the nature of the book and the fragility of our modern world.
