Does Writing Have a Future?

by Vilém Flusser

Book Overview

In Does Writing Have a Future?, a remarkably perceptive work first published in German in 1987, Vil m Flusser asks what will happen to thought and communication as written communication gives way, inevitably, to digital expression. In his introduction, Flusser proposes that writing does not, in fact, have a future because everything that is now conveyed in writing--and much that cannot be--can be recorded and transmitted by other means.
