@brianstorms @countcol In "Nexus", or at least in an interview I saw regarding the book, Yuval Harari suggests that every new information age has an initial chaotic era before society figures out the insitutions required to handle the new technology. Among the first bestsellers with the new printing press were witch-hunting manuals.
I imagine another category of early print bestsellers was porn, just like with VHS and the internet.
