The Future of Books

About a month ago James Warner posted an amusing collection of predictions. He starts with a not quite so ridiculous prediction for 2020 and then quickly departs from reality. I personally think the 2040 prediction is the best. That’s the era when readers will be responsible for caring for their favorite author’s online avatar. Readers will have a responsibility similar to Pokemon, and that’s why this era will culminate in author-vs-author cage matches.
