The end product is surprisingly listenable for all its strange disparate parts – we just wish Siri always sounded like Erykah Badu , whose haunting pipes perfectly ground the spacey strangeness of everything else. Check it [...]

"Inspired, in equal measures, by Hurricane Katrina, Buster Keaton, The Wizard of Oz, and a love for books, The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore is a story of people who devote their lives to books and books who return the favor," is how Moonbot Studios describes their creation.

First, there's this publishing industry insider describing in an email to Pando Daily's Sarah Lacy how Amazon.com has impacted the industry : Long-term there's no future in printed books. They'll be like vinyl: pricey and for collectors only. 95% of people will read digitally.
