Version 0

Overview & Synopsis

# This is an e-book. What is a book? How is it set to evolve in the digital age? In May 2018, researchers and practitioners from a wide range of fields (design, publishing, communication, literature, and more) gathered in Montreal for the ÉCRIDIL conference to assess the current state of affairs and propose possible solutions. The result of a publishing experiment conducted in parallel with the event, this book is a fragmented and reasoned index of the notes taken collectively during the discussions. Its creation relies on digital tools that enable a new form of publishing workflow—one that is collaborative, hybrid, and open both in time and space. What you are reading here is “Version 0” of a book that is open to future additions and reconfigurations.
