This is a good thing, for it takings reading to a creative level, to a higher level of interactivity. However it is a struggle for authors to reliquish control, for the centuries of intellectual domination by the print paradigm have bred a subconscious attitude of intellectual possessiveness and arrogance towards our literary output. We blind ourselves to the fact that none of our work is truely origional-- that we constantly, consciously and unconsciously, repurpose and recontextualize the works and ideas of others.
We need to free ourselve from these attitudes, and develope a more collaborative, communal appoach to knowledge creation, and let go of our work, let it grow and evolve. We can facilitate that by making our site adaptive.
