The Book That Lived

“Is the ‘book’ an object made out of paper, or is it rather a set of functions? If it’s the latter, the book isn’t dead—it’s just using various digital forms to serve the same function.”

-Leah Price, Professor of English, via Books and Bytes, The Harvard Crimson

  1. That's way over my head! I think I'd prefer to take the former approach myself. It's much easier to think of a book as an object made out of paper than "various digital forms." ;)
