Dehaene delves into how our brains have adapted to interpret written language, a skill that is a relatively recent development in human history. He examines the processes involved as our brain translates symbols on a page into meaningful language, discussing the evolution of reading systems and how they engage various brain regions. The book integrates insights from psychology, linguistics, and neuroscience to provide a comprehensive view of how reading is both a cultural and biological evolution.</p>
