When I got to work Monday, CNN had a story/doodad up about some guy who says books will be obsolete in five years and then he sort of sits there smugly. This in advance of all literature being digitized.
This creeped me out, and creeped me out so much that it will probably be true. It's stupid, though.
I can say I will be the last lame holdout for paper books. Long after people are reading laser-etched coins that are placed on the eyelids while sleeping (?) or whatever, I will still cleave to the pleasures of proper books.
Plus, when the EMP goes up, will your kindle work then? Hmm???
I will be in the corner reading Savage Grace for the umpteenth time.
