“I used to feel so alone in the city. All those gazillions of people and then me, on the outside. Because how do you meet a new person? I was very stunned by this for many years. And then I realized, you just say, ‘Hi.’ They may ignore you. Or you may marry them. And that possibility is worth that one word.”

— Augusten Burroughs

One of my all-time favorite quotes.

fnin: ■ infn ■ →  #nuovi libri leugenio: Hack the Cover è un’interessante disanima sul destino della copertina al tempo dell’ebook (o meglio: di Amazon). This is an essay for book lovers and designers curious about where the cover has been, where it’s going, and what the ethos of covers means for digital book design.  The cover is no longer the marketing tool it once was. The covers on Amazon.com are tiny on the search results page. Minuscule on new books page. And they’re all but lost in the datum slush of the individual item pages.  We’re looking for metrics other than images. Why? Because — What do we now hunt when buying books? Data.

I NEVER REALIZED HOW MUCH I NEED TO CHECK MY PREDATOR PRIVILEGE.
