Tweet of the Day, …Truth edition.

As Karl noted elsewhere, only Ben Bova assumed it’d be the Japanese who’d be doing it. Then again, it was back in the 1980s, back when we all assumed that the Japanese would end up dominating the world. Then they got exquisitely screwed by the NYC real estate industry, and never quite recovered from that.

Appropriately, Ben Bova's prediction of how electronic books would displace the traditional publishing industry is available online. He told them exactly what was going to happen in 1984, and none of the dinosaurs paid any attention.https://t.co/EZoFtpRTdK https://t.co/1qUAvisSaJ
