The future of the book, as Bob Stein argued, is in dialogue between the reader and the author. It will no longer be a static work, created by the author for a particular audience. “Old school” authors “engage with the subject matter on behalf of the readers,” whereas “new school” authors will “engage with readers in the context of a subject matter” (Stein, “The Future of the Book: The Evolution of Reading and Writing in the Networked Era”, March 1, 2008).
