The book imagines, and enacts, the library as both keeper of books and curator of ideas--as a platform of the future.
A photo essay, "Reading Rooms Reading Machines" further interrupts the book in order to display images of libraries (old and new, real and imagined), and readers (human and machine) and features work by artists including Kader Atta, Wafaa Bilal, Mark Dion, Rodney Graham, Katie Paterson, Veronika Spierenburg, and others.The book includes Bibliophilic artworks intersect both throughout the book-as-exhibition.
