What lies ahead for books in art, design, architecture, and cultural-critical publications? This thought-provoking question serves as the foundation for What Is the Future of the Book?, an ambitious project that gathers insights from a wide array of international voices. Journalists, artists, architects, curators, translators, designers, philosophers, sociologists, publishers, booksellers, editors, and students—among many others—share their visions for the evolution of the book, looking ahead to five, twenty, or even seventy-two years in the future, imagining the state of books in 2100.
Their responses range from utopian dreams to realistic projections, conveyed through a mix of essays, visual explorations, and creative designs. This multidisciplinary collection offers exciting and imaginative perspectives on how books will evolve in form, function, and cultural significance.
To highlight the diversity of views, each section is brought to life by young designers, whose innovative layouts celebrate the scope and variety of the project. Whether you are a bibliophile or someone involved in the cultural and creative industries, What Is the Future of the Book? is an inspiring exploration of what might come next for the medium we all cherish.
