He says this,
There may well be a time between the sunset of printed text and the appearance
of robust models for unfettered distribution of electronic text, an interregnum
during which the fortunes of novelists follow those of poets and playwrights and
other ink-stained scribblers whose industries have cratered beneath them.
I read his first Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom, which has some very interesting ideas (everyone has a huge drive in their brain where they can browse and mail others people's machine. Talk about non-verbal communication).
