Print is Dead: Books in Our Digital Age

The fourth installment of the Print is Dead podcast, as part of the book excerpt site, has just been delivered. The podcast features me reading the chapter “Writers in a Digital Future” from the third section of the book, “Saying Goodbye to Book.”

Here’s a snippet of the chapter:

The Internet, and the interconnectedness of its audience, is already proving to be a great place for growing and sustaining an audience online. Some authors today have huge and ravenous Internet constituencies, and in terms of their popularity the lines are so blurred between their websites and their books that it’s no longer clear which exists to support the other. And all of this comes at a time when the book business and authors are faced with more competition than ever in terms of consumer attention and competing fields of entertainment.
