• Meanland

09 April 2010The way we read is changing more profoundly now than at any time since the invention of movable type. E-books, electronic ink, digital readers; the book is reinventing itself at a dizzying rate. But what does the future hold for readers, for publishers and for writers?

In this inaugural Meanland event (a collaboration between literary journals Meanjin and Overland), Marieke Hardy, Sherman Young, (and in Part 2) Margaret Simons and Peter Craven discuss the impact of new technology, economic change and shifting notions of intellectual property on reading and writing in Australia. Hosted by Meanjin editor Sophie Cunningham.
