"Even with Facebook, Netflix and other digital distractions increasingly vying for time, Americans’ appetite for reading books — the ones you actually hold in your hands — has not slowed in recent years, according to a study by the Pew Research Center... Lee Rainie, the director of internet, science and technology research for Pew Research, said the study demonstrated the staying power of physical books. “I think if you looked back a decade ago, certainly five or six years ago when ebooks were taking off, there were folks who thought the days of the printed book were numbered, and it’s just not so in our data,” he said."
The Ebook version of my Bloomsbury book "Ethics, Information, and Technology" will be published on December 11, 2025 and the Hardback and Paperback versions will be available on January 8, 2026. The book includes chapters on IP, OM, AI, and other emerging technologies.
