> What's the successor to the book? And how could books be improved? > What's the successor to the scientific paper and the scientific journal? I think the answer to both of these looks something like a text- and figure-heavy Jupyter notebook distributed with a Docker container and embedded datasets. The point being that books and papers introduce people to certain datasets, then teach how to gain insight from them. This would add the ability to interact programmatically with the data and equations being presented. I’m talking about technical textbooks here specifically. I don’t know what the successor is to the scientific journal. I’ve talked to a lot of people about this and every time I’m less convinced it can be disrupted. It will require a coordinated international effort.
