digital book as newMedia.retroFuturist.Container
this digital book is a Hard Disk Player w/MPEG4 (AVI) + MPG/DAT/VOB/MP3/WMA/WAV/JPG playback + Component/VGA/S-video; Stereo/Photolink
output. of course, this is only a superficial RE:shape shift, but the idea of such containers holds retrofuturistic promises reminiscent of the Neo-Victorian devices in The Diamond Age: A Young Girl's Illustrated Primer by Neal Stephenson or the streamlined chrome shells that thinly seperate recent futures from nearby pasts in William Gibson's The Gernsback Continuum.
