Hand Made High Tech

Throughout 2011, if:book Australia commissioned essays from ten Australian writers on the future of writing and reading in a future tilted towards the digital. Each writer drew on his or her experience in fields diverse as publishing, transmedia, gaming, and comics to observe the changes taking place in 'books' and discussing where this might lead for authors, readers, and reading culture.

Originally posted at the if:book web site, the articles have now been compiled (some updated) into a single volume under the title High Tech Hand Made with an introduction by me and a brilliant cover design by Daniel Neville.

It's free to download in any format or to read online. If you have any interest in books and publishing futures, it's worth a read. Check it out.
