Keen's book, The Cult of the Amateur, is stirring up a storm online as
he criticises bloggers, remix artists, social network sites, file
sharing and almost every other aspect of today's online world. I don't
think it's a good book, and he needs to learn that throwing lots of
anecdotes about the bad side of the web into a book doesn't actually
make an argument. It's also possible that there will simply be fewer
books to publish.

I know this because I read the printed book, and didn't just scan it on
a screen. We are living at a time of great change, and in this
revolutionary period it is simply not possible to treat any one aspect
of life in isolation. Keen's book, The Cult of the Amateur, is stirring

But in the end, whatever technology may offer us, we will make our
decisions as humans, living in the physical world, with aesthetic
considerations sometimes trumping the hard-edged practical ones. It's
also possible that there will simply be fewer books to publish. Of
course we will adapt, as we always do.

children that - as my daughter pointed out at the time - cost more than
a PDA. So this was probably our last chance to see the film in the
format its director intended, and I'll admit to a feeling of nostalgia
about it.

book organised by the New Writing Partnership as part of a series of
literary events. We are living at a time of great change, and in this

Of course we will adapt, as we always do. I suspect the same will apply
to the book in years to come, and we will continue to choose them for
reasons that defy the market but reinforce what it means to be human.

My son writes scripts, not stories, and has plans to enact them using
computer-generated machinima. I fear they will be disappointed, since I
love and cherish books in all their many forms and formats, whether
literary novels or technical manuals.

Parents buy fewer encyclopaedias because information is available
online, and schools buy fewer books of all types because children are
encouraged to look to the web. Making a film or developing a computer
game, both alternative ways of expressing oneself, were simply too hard,
complicated and expensive. Bill Thompson is an independent journalist

I had a concrete experience of the value of the book recently when  I
was asked to appear on BBC World television to discuss the usefulness of
the internet with author Andrew Keen. Keen's book, The Cult of the
Amateur, is stirring up a storm online as he criticises bloggers, remix
artists, social network sites, file sharing and almost every other
