Books and Not Books

Very nice read from Stephanie on stories, shapes, and what happens if the shape of our containers changes. Anna has a nice thing about if my day has a beginning middle and end then isn’t it a story? I’ll say no. A story requires causation between the parts, and unless I’m a god, the sun doesn’t come up in the morning because of what I do. Simone has links to other stuff and thanks about how we take things for granted when in fact they are not ‘natural’ or forever (book for instance are only a few hundred years old).

Michael is a fan of reading books electronically (and I’d note these are old fashioned books read on screen, and not yet the sorts of things that books might become when digital only).
