[Air-L] I Read Where I Am -- Exporing New Information Cultures

[Geert Lovink]

http://www.valiz.nl/en/IReadWhereIAm

I Read Where I Am contains visionary texts about the future of reading  
and the status of the word. We read anytime and anywhere. We read of  
screens, we read out on the streets, we read in the office but less  
and less we read a book at home on the couch. We are, or are becoming,  
a different type of reader. The question remains which shape will it  
take and what experience does one want? To answer all these (and  
other) questions we have asked people from different backgrounds,  
subject to the aforementioned changes, to think about these issues.
I Read Where I Am collects 82 diverse observations, inspirations and  
critical notes by journalists, designers, researchers, politicians,  
philosophers and many others.
