The issue with unbreakable DRM is that it is a flawed concept on a technical level, and the people who want it are not the people who have to make it.
Bitcoin was never inconceivable on a technical level, and people would only have laughed because they couldn't imagine the infrastructure and user opt-in, and because until there is an actual working implementation nothing will change.
You are comparing apples to oranges.

if drm go then how would publisher or author make living?

I don't know, why don't you ask all the authors who are currently making a living without DRM?
Why don't you ask the publishers who don't use DRM?
- Baen has never used DRM.
- Tor ditched DRM years ago, and are on record saying that they have not noticed any decrease in sales as a result.
