I recommend checking out the writings of the Jesuit priest Walter Ong, who explored how the transition from orality to literacy influenced culture and changed human consciousness.
Oh yeah....have read him extensively, as well the work he builds on (Parry, Lord, Havelock). This is the second book idea I paused.
