The Library That Lasts - Hugh Howey
from The Long Now Foundation Hosted by The Long Now Foundation
The written word has transformed humanity. Ideas now outlast their creators. Knowledge builds on knowledge across generations. The author of "Wool" and "The Bern Saga" asks: “How will texts survive deep time? What does the library of tomorrow look like?” "The Library That Lasts" was given on July 28, 02015 as part of The Long Now Foundation's “Conversations at The Interval” Salon Talks. These hour long talks are recorded live at The Interval, our bar, cafe, & museum in San Francisco. Since 02014 this series has presented artists, authors, entrepreneurs, scientists (and more) taking a long-term perspective on subjects like art, design, history, nature, technology, and time.
