- Abstract
- The author discusses the digitalisation of written works and how it changed the way of writing. He reflects on the condition of literature and books in the postindustrial era of technology and states that the increasing use of digitalising written works by different technology companies is creating a war with their writers. He cites the work of Italian novelist Italo Calvino in his book "Six Memos for the Next Millennium" in which he discussed the relationship of the computer to writing.
