The Future of the Book

| | | | |

Meet Nelson, Coupland, and Alice, three concepts for the book of the future. These don’t yet exist, but they might in the near future. I love what technology is making possible for the future of reading.

    Ok…so now as I'm writing my new book, heaps of ideas for what "could be" are pouring into my head. Thanks (sincerely) for the inspiration…and thanks (sarcastically) for making the writing process way more complicated! (wink) Seriously – I love where technology is going as well.

    Put all three on an ipad and I think you've got something.

    I look forward to watching as the book continues to evolve in the coming years.

    Perhaps someday our reading material will "come alive"…Harry Potter style (I'm thinking that those "interactive" newspapers aren't too far off in our future…). ;)

    Very interesting-thanks for sharing! "Alice" looks like the high-tech descendant of the "Choose Your Own Adventure" books that I used to read as a kid.

    I love the idea of Coupland. Hope this becomes reality soon.

    Oh my goodness. The Alice concept reminds me of the Choose Your Own Adventure books that I loved to read as a boy!
