I think the experience of writing and publishing novels has taught me a lot about the impact of technology on print media. It seems no one nowadays wants to spend a nickel to see a dust storm. They want everything free - don't want to pay for news, entertainment, sports or music. Taylor Swift is constantly bemoaning her shrinking revenues ( I wish I had even a portion of her diminishing returns) No one wants to mail a letter, let alone put a stamp on an envelope and send it snail mail. As much as I love books I have to admit that what Frank Strang said in Equus is true - Printing is a failing trade.
