kevin kelly is always good for a sweeping overview.

in spite of the tone of the article, the only "newish" idea
in it is the notion that "books will read each other" and
become synergistically interlinked, and that idea is one
that is both interesting and perplexing at the same time.

how -- _exactly_ -- is this supposed to happen?

neither links nor tags, in their current form anyway,
indicate an association between two external entities.

even the most basic of building blocks in that regard
-- a clean "a.p.i." into the cyberlibrary -- is absent...

heck, the official policy at project gutenberg is that
people must _not_ "deep-link" into the _content_ of
your books per se, but rather only to a catalog page.
