Adam Robinson—
There’s a nice reading log of Ander Monson’s Vanishing Point up at the NYTimes book blog, Paper Cuts. It asks about the future of the book, where the book is a, uh, book.
Good link. Just started reading this yesterday. Dude is magic.
The comments on the NYT article seem surprisingly argumentative–in a bad way. I haven’t fully processed what I think about the daggers yet, but I love the idea of having the option to explore further, a redirect, lights off in the distance somewhere.
He, David Shields, and Nicholas Carr had a really cool forum at the LA Festival of Books. Strangely, Monson and Shields never spoke to each other before the panel started. They just sat in silence, even though you would think they’d have a shitload to talk about: they are writing about similar things in a similar way, and Shields recently gave Vanishing Point an enthusiastic review at NYT. Weird.

I actually used this in a paper I was doing on the future of the book as soon as the link popped up on here yesterday. I like what this guy’s thinkin’. Thanks for the help!
