It’s connected with personhood. Books are really, really hard to write. They represent a kind of a summit of grappling with what one really has to say. And what I’m concerned with is when Silicon Valley looks at books, they often think of them as really differently as just data points that you can mush together. They’re divorcing books from their role in personhood.”<br/><br/> - <em>Jaron Lanier <a href="http://www.themillions.com/2013/05/the-humanity-of-books.html" target="_blank">The Millions : The Humanity of Books</a></em>http://www.peterwknox.com/post/50513119014http://www.peterwknox.com/post/50513119014Wed, 15 May 2013 15:32:46 -0400“Who would have guessed that human beings would turn to HUMOR in the face of unrelentingly grim circumstances?
