This article has been much quoted and Tweeted over the past couple of weeks, but if you haven’t seen it yet, we recommend you get hold of a copy (print or online) and read it in full.

The article in question is ‘Publishing: The Revolutionary Future’, first published in The New York Review of Books. The printed version we read was a in supplement published with The Guardian Review (above) on 20 February. You can read the original NYRB version here, also with drop caps. And read it again – there’s plenty to think about in the way Epstein discusses ‘… the inevitability of digitization as an unimaginably powerful, but infinitely fragile, enhancement of the worldwide literacy on which we all … depend.’
