How the book changed the way we live and relate to each other, inspired by Kenya Hara and his essay, "Books as Information Sculpture". Also: Alice and Wonderland, Michel de Montaigne, audiobooks, and Ray and Charles Eames' film, Powers of Ten. The text version is on my web site. A version of this essay appeared in Amphora Magazine. I don’t think it’s cool to spend the present anticipating the future. — Kenya Hara
