Superb documentary on the challenges technology is bringing to what we read
bowencouncil19 January 2015
As stated by one of the thought leaders interviewed, "We used to read books, now they read us". That is at the crux of the subject of this film, along with the trend toward the demise of the book store as we know it. Big data has joined our personal reading time. See the difference in Germany's approach to Amazon and eBooks compared to the approach in the US. Should we welcome eBooks with eyes open knowing we sacrifice privacy with our reading preferences and habits influencing what gets written in the future? Or, should we hang on to the intimacy we have with print on paper? Which is right? This film will help your opinion be more informed.

This topic is relevant for all of us. It presents in beautiful cinematography the views of world leaders on the topic who make good arguments for both sides of the issue.
