It seems to me that everything we do now - from the app to the agency model - is somehow about preserving that image of what a book was and what it might become in the future without losing the essential qualities that made it a book in the first place (good writing, smart editing, strong presentation, determined advocacy). This is important, let’s stop talking about the death of the book, and start talking about the life of the book - it’s got an incredible future and I’d like to read about it.
