John B. Thompson: Book War

The main theme of the book is to look at the impact of the digital revolution on the book industry and the development of it. John B. Thompson explores this interesting subject and deals with specific data about what has happened in the United States and in the British press over the past 20 years. The book traces how digital technology has acted and countered to the unique dynamics of publishing that have been built for hundreds of years, and how publishing industry adapts and develops to this. In particular, super-giant technologies like Google, Apple and Amazon focus on the impact of the publishing world over a short period of time. While observing the development of self-reported publishing, crowdfunding, subscription service, audiobooks, and other publishing models, it also talks about the current development of new types of storytelling on the Internet. In the meantime, the press's future development direction is predicted to be expected, and the physical media, called printbooks, will continue to maintain a record.
