Questions for Kari Kraus

1) Concerning “The Hollow” do you think that this perspective of viewing certain books as relics or “artifacts” of their own time could be marketable on a small or large scale? Could this be the next hipster thing to do, acquire books that seem stuck in their time and laugh at them?

2) Concerning the “five observable structuring affordances of the traditional book” set out by Matthew Kirschenbaum, are there certain limitations that you believe don’t apply to some books, specifically the finite and bounded observation? Are there any changes you would make to the list? (Not including e-books)

3) Concerning The House of Her, would it be possible to compose a narrative using a platform like twitter in an effective enough way as to draw in public interest? What would need to be done for it to happen? Do things like this exist today, but maybe not in a way that most people are expecting?
