After reading William Gibson's new novel, Spook Country, Dan Cullen over at the ABA Omnibus remembered a French short film entitled Possible Ou Probable (obviously it's in French) that features a possible path for reading in the future. Here's some concepts in the film:
- touch-screen monitors when reading from a screen
- books whose interior covers are screens that simulate pages of a book
- actual books in the bookstore and if you're interested in purchasing them, you just scan their bar code and the book is downloaded into your peripheral
- travel books that act as virtual maps and tour guide
- virtual notebooks in which you can copy/paste photos from books or take notes/make corrections with a stylus
