Lanham

Richard Lanham's The Electronic Word is probably the least well-known of the early hypertext classics. A new journal, ECi, features Lanham's superb new essay on The Future of Text.

FROM THIS PLACE WORDS MAY FLY ABROAD
NOT TO PERISH ON WAVES OF SOUND
NOT TO VARY WITH THE WRITER'S HAND
BUT FIXED IN TIME HAVING BEEN VERIFIED IN PROOF

FRIEND, YOU STAND ON SACRED GROUND
THIS IS A PRINTING OFFICE
