Digitise or Die: What is the Future of the Book?

Tuesday 17 April 2007, 7:30 P.M, Queen Elizabeth Hall.

Buy tickets here.

I’ve got a ticket, although rather unhelpfully it’s slap bang in the the middle of the London Book Fair, which I’ll also be attending, so this might prove difficult - even if it’s back in West London after last year’s debacle.

What this interesting crew have to say is anyone’s guess - Ms Atwood’s major engagement with the future outside her novels is the much-derided LongPen. We shall see. If you’re coming, let me know.
