From the first cave paintings to the digital revolution, the storytelling instinct has been one of the most defining forces of human evolution. The need to transmit and preserve knowledge has shaped civilizations, driving the progress of science, culture, and society.

The 3rd edition of Book 2.0 invites us to reflect on the role of knowledge and books in building the future. In a time of accelerated change, marked by digitalization, it is essential to consider how access to reading and the promotion of literacy can help shape a more conscious and resilient society.
