Simon Pont addresses The Bookseller Conference, July 9th, on the Southbank. Presentation title: Paradigm Spit. Material addresses how definitions are changing in our digital age, and how marketing practices must move in sync. How might we redefine just what a book is, so that it may evoke story, character, theme, and idea that may transcend physical and digital spaces? Case examples include: The Better Mousetrap and Remember to Breathe. Citations include: Dyson, Digital Music industry, Jaws, District 9, Prometheus and HTC.
