In a constantly changing world, the book remains an essential pillar of knowledge and culture. In this edition, we reflect on how the evolution of the book accompanies the history of humanity, mirroring cultural, technological, and environmental changes. The way we create, access, and share reading is rapidly changing. With the growing impact of artificial intelligence and sustainability in the publishing sector, it becomes urgent to rethink the future of publishing and reading.

From technological advancement to environmental responsibility, including copyright, distribution chains, and reading spaces, we look at the challenges and opportunities shaping the future of publishing. How can we ensure the value of the book in a digital context? What impact will AI have on the creation and circulation of content? How can we rethink publishing practices considering sustainability? And what strategies can protect linguistic diversity in the face of market homogenization?

This edition invites us to reflect on the role of the book in contemporary society, as a vehicle of knowledge and transformation.
