I think in the future, as electronic media becomes cheaper and more accessible, physical books will become a privileged item for people who can afford them - like the New York Times.

In the future, water will be very expensive.

In the future, all material objects will be free.

In the future, everyone's house will be like a little fortress.

In the future, everyone's house will be a total entertainment center.

After the World Religious War, those who survives (if any), will have to redifine culture. Books will then be the most accessible source of information since the electronic systems we have today most probably will not be functional...

Have you ever heard a hipster saying "this blog changed my life, you should read it"? if you have...which I start to think it may be possible, it's very sad.

shame on you Eluvatar, you keep telling us to read Worm.
