The one danger of online fiction · 4:36pm Apr 24th, 2016
I'm a big advocate of online fiction. "Print must die," I say.
- Selling people books printed on paper disconnects reader and writer, both by preventing them from talking to each other, and by separating them into two discrete classes (published writers, and readers).
- Printing books require capital, which makes a few people gatekeepers, fashion-setters, dictators of what gets written.
- Online fiction can be animated, hyperlinked, multi-media, interactive.
