Technological change doesn't happen independent of culture. Stop with the technological determinism.
- smitty1e 1y agoThe proper counter will be cultural determinism, if sufficient people insist upon supporting human writers crafting real books.

In this case, so many people are curious as to whether we can make this work and/or see financial implications that this will happen irrespective of whether wider culture rejects it.
