Print Is Dead by J Gomez
For over 1500 years books have weathered numerous cultural changes remarkably unaltered. Through wars, radio, TV, computer games and fluctuating literacy rates, the book has, somewhat bizarrely, remained the more robust and culturally relevant way to communicate ideas. Now, for the first time since the Middle Ages, all that is about to change.
"A must-read for people who care about reading" - Jeff Jarvis, author of What Would Google Do?"I'd say the smart money is on Gomez being right that an ebook revolution is just around the corner." - The Independent"This book is a wake-up call for anyone in the print media who has not yet grasped or embraced the realities of the digital world created by the Internet...He's done a good job. Print is Dead is a succinct and useful field guide to digital media." - Anthony Cheetham, Literary Review
