A Book is not a Monolith
Writing a book seems no longer like the unconquerable Monolith it once seemed to be. And it actually never was. With the advent of cryptofication new concepts of ownership and distribution have emerged, and so have new concepts of creation as well.
There are as many illustrations of what it means to be a writer, as there are writers, and readers often, when they are not engaged with the actual content of a book, dig into the ways a writer may behave, seeking a secondary viewpoint of a story once created.
But these renditions of the creators that we have in our mind, are often not similar to the renditions with which pictures present us, as we browse the web. Or, after a writer passes away, and the newspapers write about it, and the picture attached to the text is so awkwardly unfitting to the personality we assumed a author might have. This effect might get lost in the realms of blockchain-based writing, where the death of the author is a now a fixed feat of the blockchain-economy.
In Fact, it has always already been the time to reconsider this detachment, since the notion of a fixed author producing fixed books has always been a rather illusionary rethoric. Indeed, many writers can reside in one writer, being left solely the part of conjuring up thoughts that have been thoughts and ways that have already been written, rearranging and prolonging, altering and exuberating, silencing and loudening - to reach a point where new entities arrive, that where potentially there, but unwritten.
As with tokenized formats, the contents get publicized in more and more dogemocratically ways, which means that the memefication and prolongation of thought patterns via memes and other instantanious formats like tweets and hashtags is the preferred way of communication and organization within the emerging sphere of cryptonautic expression.
Authors such as Jorge Luis Borges, are a prime example of canonized literature, which is in itself rather open to the notions of non-closed texts, and might be reread and reevaluated within the ever-expanding horizons of decenterando, what I call the inhabitants of this not easy to describe movement that is engulfed within the cryptosphere. "The Library of Babel" (1962) is one of those fine works of art, that challenge the notion of what is dogeable within the realms of letters and thoughts.
If you made it this far, write a comment with suggestions on how you view the topic "books on the internet, what has to change?" --- see you on the blockchain!

I am not sponsored or affilitated in any way, but as soon as the book finishes, that is now emerging from time to time on steemit, I'd think about releasing it on publica or a similar service for tokenized publication.
