The Readies by Bob Brown PDF Summary

Book Description: In 1930, Bob Brown predicted that the printed book was bound for obsolescence. The time has come, he insisted, "to rid the reader of the cumbersome book." He invented a machine that would allow one to read books and any text extremely fast and in a hyper-abbreviated form. He called these abbreviated texts, with em-dashes replacing words, "readies." He envisioned sending the condensed texts through wireless networks. The Readies, describes these eponymously named abbreviated texts and his plans for a reading machine, but since he printed only 150 copies, the volume is practically unknown outside of a small circle of scholars. With this new edition, Craig Saper hopes to introduce Bob Brown's Roving Eye Press books to a new generation of readers.
