Locating discourse in a dynamic network doesn't erase the distinction between authors and readers, but it significantly flattens the traditional perceived hierarchy.
-
A new formulation might be that publishers and editors contribute to building a community that involves an author and a group of readers who are exploring a subject.

A mother in London recently described her ten-year old boy's reading behavior: "He'll be reading a (printed) book. He'll put the book down and go to the book's website. Then, he'll check what other readers are writing in the forums, and maybe leave a message himself, then return to the book. He'll put the book down again and google a query that's occurred to him." I'd like to suggest that we change our description of reading to include the full range of these activities, not just time spent looking at the printed page.

Books can have momentum, not in the current sense of position on a best-seller or Amazon list, but rather in the size and activity-level of their communities.

Cynthia GillespieThis is not a scholarly article, it is one person trying to relay his thoughts and predictions about the future of publishing. He welcomes comments, and there are several. He discusses a little bit the history of the print to digital transition, like the added interaction between books and authors via author webpages, or a scholars ability to easily access source materials if they are linked to the original article. This may be useful as a historical guide to discuss where book publishing started and how the publishing model is changing.

Michel BauwensAs networked books evolve, readers will increasingly see themselves as participants in a social process. As with authors, especially in what is likely to be a long transitional period, we will see many levels of (reader) engagement

Ever since we published Ken Wark's Gamer Theory I've tended to think of the author of a networked book as a leader of a group effort, similar in many respects to the role of a professor in a seminar. The professor has presumably set the topic and likely knows more about it than the other participants, but her role is to lead the group in a combined effort to synthesize and extend knowledge. This is not to suggest that one size will fit all authors

once we acknowledge the intrinsic relationship between reading and writing as equally crucial elements of the same equation — we can begin to redefine the roles of publisher and editor. An old-style formulation might be that t publishers and editors serve the packaging and distribution of authors’ ideas. A new formulation might be that publishers and editors contribute to building a community that involves an author and a group of readers who are exploring a subject.

Authors should be able to choose the level of moderation/participation at which they want to engage; ditto for readers.
-
It's not necessary for ALL projects to take this continuous/never-finished form.
-
main distinction of this new model is not type of media but the mechanism of distribution

in the long term arc of change i am imagining, novels will not continue to be the dominant form of fiction. My bet now is that to understand where fiction is going we should look at what’s happening with “video games.”

Over time we are also likely to see the emergence of "professional readers" whose work consistus of tagging our digitized culture

It’s important to design sites that are outward-looking, emphasizing the fact that boundaries with the rest of the net are porous.

-
Books can be imagined as channels, especially when they "gather" other books around them.

imagine google searches that make visible not just the interconnections between hits but also how the content of each hit relates to the rest of the document and/or discipline it’s part of
