I'm Drew Breunig and I obsess about technology, media, language, and culture. I live in New York, studied anthropology, and work in advertising technology.

These are reactions to things I feel are important.

This is the delusional logic entrenched publishers are betting on: a magical future will appear where iPods will drive people to buy CD players, smartphones will sell Franklin day planners, Nooks will help sales of paper, and everything will be fine.

The publishing industry, as we know it, is doomed.
