O futuro do livro: haverá uma mera transposição dos conteúdos tradicionais para o suporte online ou estaremos realmente perante um novo formato de literatura experimental que mistura várias formas de expressão artística através das tecnologias digitais?
“Bar a few notable exceptions (Penguin's wiki-novel or We Tell Stories project), traditional publishers have used the internet as a glorified marketing tool providing them with new ways of flogging the same old same old: e-books, Sony Readers, digi-novels, slush-pile outsourcing …”
“So far, the brave new world of digital literature has been largely anti-climatic. Meade himself confides that he is yet to be "seized by a digital fiction that is utterly compelling".

The slow switch to broadband limits its potential audience, e-readers are only adapted to conventional texts - and when was the last time you curled up in bed with a hypertext? In spite of all this, Amerika may well be on to something when he claims that we are witnessing the emergence of a "digitally-processed intermedia art" in which literature and all the other arts are being "remixed into yet other forms still not fully developed".
