This is not the future of the book

Hackathons and hack culture

Listen Later

In this episode we worry about digital publishing not moving forward to the future:

  • How do we get ebooks and the like moving forward without wholesale destruction?
  • We also respond to that Hackathon article. No, not that one. No, not that one either. This one.
  • When do hackathons work?
  • This is the episode where we sing the praises of React. No, not that react. The other one.
  • Singing the praises of Claire Reddington.
  • Don’t devalue work and don’t overvalue work.
  • We talk about how big publishing’s value proposition has been called into question.
  • On authors as the actual providers of value.
  • Singing the praises of Canelo.

    • May contain swearing.
