There's a very interesting (and rather lengthy) book of essays out recently titled "The Future of Text". There are a number of essays contributed by members of the CNI community, and I think it may be of interest to many readers. My thanks to Keith Webster of CMU (one of the essay authors) for the pointer to this project.

For more information about the book, the contributors, the broader project and context, and a launch symposium, including pointers to recordings, see

The book is available for free download (as PDF or EPUB) at

You can also purchase a printed version on Amazon fairly inexpensively if you prefer, (It's print on demand, so it's serviceable, not beautiful.)
