- Abstract:
- Ádám T. Bogár and Rebeka Sára Szigethy look from the world of Fahrenheit 451, where reading is forbidden, to our wide-open world of the present, and into the future as well. Networked reading among groups of people and near-infinite searchability linked out from electronic texts themselves offer interesting new possibilities for personal and social enrichment. Still, as Bogár and Szigethy note, in a world where every file looks like every other until opened, a stubborn few of us nevertheless will prefer physical books that "smell like nutmeg or some spice from a foreign land..."
