I have a new post up today over at the MIT Convergence Culture Consortium weblog, “The Future of Entertainment is… Paper?” In it, I basically stare agog at the awesomeness that is PaperCamp, a one-day event that went down on January 17th in London and that I’m kicking myself for having missed. At the end of the piece I start ruminating a little about how PaperCamp and its ‘protospimes’ tie into my recent thinking on the idea of The Converged Author, which is definitely shaping up to be one of my key research topics of 2009. Check it out!
