But I think there is power in the notion of a book, its thingness, and the Web can perhaps learn how to encapsulate, in the way a book does, a discrete thing, a bounded set of ideas.
I really like the notion, especially from a poetic perspective. But I can't stop dwelling on all that is lost if the web is "bounded." That's the huge advantage of the web over an object/book. It is not about the content, it's about the conversation and the community. It's about process over product.
