Do you think it's going to be that long? I'm not so sure. The way everything related to technology is increasing above and beyond Moore's predictions has me thinking we could see radical shifts within ten years. And that's not to mention the rapid, tenfold increase in genetic sequencing over the last couple of years.
Theoretically though, I often wonder what Doctorow's position would be if tomorrow he woke up in a world where paper books were no longer produced. Would all his evangelising and support of 'free culture' melt in the face of his own economic realities?
