This is not the future of the book

Avant-garde what?

Listen Later

In this one we cover the following thingamajigs:

  • Baldur talks about what it feels like to anticipate that the mainstream will coincide with your interests but then watching it go into a different direction. Three different directions, to be specific.
  • Craig Mod’s article. (And the coda he posted on his website, which you should also read.)
  • Fahrenheit Press’s audience engagement.
  • Xcode playgrounds.
  • Involving the reader. Breaking out of the insular.
  • Any involvement of the reader is experimental.
  • Singing the praises of Sam Missingham.
  • The value of making deliberate mistakes. Mistakes, not failure.
  • Singing the praises of Inkle Studios.
  • The big risk that publishers are taking.

    • May contain swearing.
