Läsandets kultur (SOU 2012:65)
To be Honest the
future is a dystopia for
publishers, booksellers
&       anyone      who
attempts to maintain a
gatekeeper role. Sorry,
but      your    current
business model is no
longer relevant to our
reality.

In scarcity access is everything.
          - In surplus its annoying.



 “who told me” becomes
 more important than “who
 made it”. Sandra Snan
End of culture: can the infinite be shared?
Algorithmic recommender systems
Do not do unto
others as you would
 that they should do
     unto you. Their
       tastes may be
           different.
