It is Time to Think About Books as Applications
- ihodes 17y agoIt's time to start thinking about alternative presentations of literature in applications. Books are books and are loved and read and enjoyed in their own right. The Alice in Wonderland application he references is not a book; it is an interactive experience that involves reading. Which is great, but certainly not a book. (Not even an app, either.)
