Sometime in the late twentieth century the book died. Sherman Young, passionate book lover and a consumer and producer of digital technology, is on a mission to make book culture matter again. Shirking nostalgia and without apology, The Book is Dead (Long Live the Book) investigates the economics and technological demands of publishing, making a case for books and reading all the while. His bold and exciting book will inspire readers, non-readers and publishers to put books center again, even if they're not books as we now know them.
Sherman Young is a senior lecturer in the media department at Macquarie University in Sydney. He has written for numerous academic journals and presented papers at academic conferences both in Australia and overseas. He is a founding member of the editorial board of Scan, an online journal of media arts and culture.
