I wrote this in 2012 as a counter factual exploration of digital books in the future.

BOOKS IN 20 YEARS “#Sharing is now a problem. There are free books and restricted books. If you can’t afford a book, you can reserve a copy at the library, then download it. It ceremoniously burns on your machine, before the due date. Another person can now borrow a digital copy. The concept of digital #ownership becomes a political one. Book #owners don’t take up the ‛Cloud’ concept, after the, ‛great cloud’ #hack of 2028. Millions of books are electronically burnt on owners devices as rouge elements of ‛Anonymous’ take their ‛Library of Alexandria’ action too far.”
