@davidnix_ Have thought about this for years. Books are too long for the modern mind/time. They should be shortened to 100 pages max, digital, and interactive. I want to see inline YT videos, inline tweets, inline embeds, 3D models, animations. This would make reading worthwhile.

@VadimCarazan Flume is actually a good example of this. He started making music with a toy he got out of a cereal box, and never learned music formally (I think). As a result his compositions were so fresh and interesting. He broke so many rules but he did it right. Uncommon though.
