Hopefully,
books and the publishing landscape of 2016 will be pretty much as it is today,
only better...with a more evenly balanced presentation of all formats of
publishing, be they hardcover, softcover or electronic editions.
Ideally, the "one or the other" scenario will
be replaced with the realization that all formats can happily exist
simultaneously. And that, in some way,
publishing by then will not only be able to properly represent the very best of
what humanity has to write, but that the industry itself will serve
metaphorically for the human race in general.
By 2016, maybe all people, of every "format," i.e., race, creed,
spiritual belief or religion, will be able to co-exist happily beyond the "one
or the other"/"us or them" mentality that unfortunately haunts humanity
today.
Books, like human beings, possess
the great power to communicate; they parallel one another in so many
ways.
So, as long as our words, our
minds and our thoughts can be printed in hardcopy or electronic format, our
words and our thoughts can also being imprinted in the hearts, minds and souls
of our brothers and sisters from every walk of life.
There is room in the great library of
humanity for every good human being, as there is room for every good book, no
matter what the “format”…literally.
