INDIE AUTHOR FRINGE: If the opportunities of new technologies like the blockchain are realized, we could see authors at the beginning and not the end of the payment chain in publishing, for the first time in history. David Penny interviews Ted Nelson, whose Xanadu project was the forerunner of the WorldWideWeb and who has, since the 1960s, been analysing what’s necessary to democratise information and empower content creators. This session also includes a copy of ALLi’s campaign manual, “Blockchain For Books.”
