Print is Dead: Books in Our Digital Age

The fine folks at The Future of the Book have just launched a new interactive online version of McKenzie Wark’s book Gamer Theory, which is published in a physical format by Harvard University Press. While I thought the first online iterations of this book were splendid, this 2.0 release continues to add amazing features. For instance, one of the coolest things about the new site is the ability to graphically visualize the text; not since Anthony Burgess suggested putting Finnegans Wake on a big wheel that constantly spun around have I seen such a wonderful graphical representation of words and ideas. Plus, it’s just exquisite to look at; Peter Saville would be proud. Check out the site, and the book, if you haven’t already…
