We, everyone who works wihin the area of design, UX, etc. , should rethink the behavior and expectation of reading, scanning, finding and so on ... what are his aim and goal ... is the adaption of the "mental model" of books the right way ... isn't there a better way ?
I think IDEO made a real good first step! Congratulation!
and i don't even read books.
Still, I cannot close my mouth on the awesomeness of the first two. congrats!
I agree that these solutions are trying to make books 'more like the internet' and that's a negative. For the past 25 years we've been a culture obsessed with innovation for innovation's sake.
I like IDEO's jumping off point. They realize E-Readers aren't good enough and they want more people to read compelling content instead of sharing links to to YouTube video's and clicking a 'like' button afterwards, but the focus on the content and the solidarity of books (as others have already mentioned) is what gives, and has given books their power for the past 500 years.
I would like everything fact checked, but where are they from. I hope not other users, ugh.
I have no desire to be lead by others. Is this for cattle?
Perhaps these people should get out more and try to find it out first.
I like the active participation as well, but I was bored with choose your own adventure books in fourth grade.
I'm definitely not reading to become a foursquare mayor.
Great IDEO!
Now where do I get one of those primary color desks with the Wes Anderson spread of timeless, functional equipment, laid out to give the impression that your hot gestural messes will go down in history?
Alice in wonderland remixed with incredible hulk... oh and i want to be able to upload VJ session over it too..
Nice work ideo
this mostly feels like an excuse to indulge in even more text float slide in future object malarky. pulse is pretty damn slick, and it's sitting on the ipad right now.
there now, amn't i a snarky little viewer. lovely presentation tho. loved the red table.

Alice is perfect in Transmedia projects...
Kudos!!
Nelson smells like there's some kind of curation done behind the scenes. I hope it's more crowdsourced than it looks. I see the intent, though: to expose people with one viewpoint (there is/isn't global warming) to the arguments against it, in a non-threatening way, as well as relevant writing that takes no side. This dilutes the true-believer-amplification effect, which surely must have a better name than what I just gave it.
Nelson = Memex, just read-only.
Copeland = social reading (see e.g. readernaut.com and earlier projects), slightly brushed up.
Alice = interactive electronic fiction (remember e.g. INFOCOM?), slightly brushed up.
Innovation? Vision? WTF?!?
The things described sound nice... Time will tell if this stuff's going to work.
Looks like KNOCKOUT
Ken's on target when he mentions Zork. Alice is just a multimedia adaptation of Zork. Nothing wrong with Zork, and nothing wrong with applying new technology--but that's all it is.
Coupland's abilities are already captured in lots of different applications. For a long time, Amazon had a feature (I think it was called "communities") where you could see what books people were reading--by town, city, state, company, etc.
As for Nelson, I do pretty much the same thing today. If I want to check on something, I'll highlight the word or phrase, right click, and then search with Google. It's a bit clunkier than portrayed with Nelson, but it accomplishes the same thing. I'll acknowledge that I find that ability useful and Nelson would do it better, but what we're talking about is incremental improvement, not a radical advance.
I agree with Micah that all these miss the mark. It's as if we were back in the 1940s watching movies and discussing the added value that sending those movies through the ether like radio waves into a small display box in our living rooms would give us. It would almost totally overlook the value (OK, "value" is a questionable term here) that television could actually offer.
"No water cooler required" yeh yeh cool, thank god I don't have to talk to anybody!
- interesting concept, but no thank you. I will make my own decisions and remain an individual.
mildly astonished at how many views this video has when it's making me feel so horrible.
cool app - fun to watch - thx for sharing.
i will deff search for it .-))
About the second idea I say: is it desirable to be reading the same stuff as everyone else? I think that my choices contribute to me being a unique human individual. I have tried to use the service Goodreads but it hasn't really clicked for me. I don't really care what other people thought about books that they read, and I don't care to take the time to tell them what I think about books they haven't read. It is really only when two people read the same book that they can have an interesting conversation on the subject. But two one-way comment posts does not a conversation make.
On the third idea, I agree with previous posts that a dramatic narrative needs to keep you in your own little world. Historical context should be supplied in the story, that's called establishing the setting. What if this idea was presented not as a new type of book, but as a new kind of literary game, one that you can play for several weeks with friends who are playing along with you, each being able to take the time to read different parts of the book in parallel to you?
If you can build it, I'll buy it!
