Online: Creators unsure anything digital will ever replace books
■ Continued from Page 6
“The industry that’s really alive
right now, that really has an audi
ence and is profitable, is the book
industry,” Rutten said. "Book
sales in this country have never
been as strong. The interactive in
dustry still has to prove that.”
“The Web is producing more
heat than light,” agreed Eamon
Dolan, the senior editor at Harper
Collins’ new line of cyberish
books, HarperEdge.
“The book is an affirmation of a
technology that’s been around for
400 years,” he added. "This im
print is not about boosting
technology. It’s a very nice ham
mer, but it’s still a hammer.”
Dolan’s imprint is, however,
about grabbing some of the hottest
names on the Web and having
them sit down to write the kind of
50,000-word treatises no one in
his or her right mind would ever
read online.
Titles like “What Will Be: Our
Lives in the 21st Century” by
Michael Dertouzos, with a fore
word by a software salesman out
of Seattle named Bill Gates. Or
“The Soul of Cyberspace” by Jef
frey Zaleski, on the spiritual side
of virtual reality.
It’s exactly this question of
word count, more than
anything else, that frames the de
bate: Long vs. short, quick vs.
slow.
