Tired of reading bad news?
This book gives you a new way to think about the future.
A grand global adventure is underway as the virtual world intertwingles.
Ted Nelson, an early pioneer of information technology who coined the word hypertext way back in 1964, also coined intertwingle. In 1974 he wrote:
Intertwingularity is not generally acknowledged—people keep pretending they can make things deeply hierarchical, categorizable and sequential when they can’t. Everything is deeply intertwingled.
To make the concepts plainer and to let your toy with them in some fictional context, each chapter begins by looking in on some people who would now be children or teenagers. When we meet them in the stories, they are thirty-somethings, living in the future.
Reading this book will help you understand today’s connected kids :)
