The ground beneath the book publishing industry dramatically
shifted in 2007, the year the Kindle and the iPhone debuted.
Widespread consumer demand for these and other devices has brought
the pace of digital change in book publishing from "it might happen
sometime" to "it's happening right now" - and it is happening
faster than anyone predicted. Yet this is only a transitional
phase. Book: A Futurist's Manifesto is your guide to what comes
next, when all books are truly digital, connected, and ubiquitous.
Through this collection of essays from thought leaders and
practitioners, you'll become familiar with a wide range of
developments occurring in the wake of this digital book shakeup: *
Discover new tools that are rapidly transforming how content is
created, managed, and distributed * Understand the increasingly
critical role that metadata plays in making book content
discoverable in an era of abundance * Look inside some of the
publishing projects that are at the bleeding edge of this digital
revolution * Learn how some digital books can evolve moment to
moment, based on reader feedback With Book: A Futurist's Manifesto,
we at O'Reilly Media are actively practicing what we preach.
