As a physical book lover, I sort of enjoyed reading post artifact books & publishing. The author tells us that book is a system and shows different steps in classic publishing. Starting off with pre-artifact system, where author tries to design and shape his or her piece and gets published into the great immutable artifact, which can’t be edited like digital book now days. Then books will be sent to distributors then to the readers. This is called post-artifact system. I liked how author mentioned about connections in classic post artifact system also I could feel that author is telling us how classic publishers spend so much effort to publish his or her perfection, and as readers, we treasure the final piece. That system is disappearing due to digital books.
