It’s an uncertain world out there, at least if you’re perched at the top of a publishing house.
Everyone always presents the past as orderly and the future as chaotic. But the exact same debates came up when radio was first introduced, and then again when television was introduced: The previous Cambrian die-off of newspapers came when TV pioneered the evening news and people went home to watch TV rather than buy an evening paper. So the people who are confused about the multiplicity of platforms are the people who aren’t used to multiple platforms. People who wrongly believed that the way the world happened to be reflected how the world really was at a deep level, they get upset. But they always get upset anyways; they are conservatives. Young people aren’t confused at all.

Carl’s tired, and that’s OK. That’s how he must be. That’s part of the zeitgeist of the Web, as Carl once explained it to me. People don’t surf the Web to find “cool” stuff, he said, they do it for the pure joy of the hunt.
The Web is a place where you go, without ever getting anywhere. And that’s its infinite beauty, says the always-dreaming, ever-searching, totally tired Carl: “It’s the journey, not the destination, on the Web.”

“The Story Mechanics have come up with something completely new in the landscape of fiction ebooks. It’s a new way of reading with John Buchan’s story at its heart, presented afresh through a TV and gaming-inspired lens.
…Too often publishers ask themselves how they can bolt something on to a finished novel, like retro-fitting a car.”
—Henry Volans, head of Digital at Faber, discusses his upcoming projects.
