Ted Nelson published Computer Lib / Dream Machines in 1974. I read it that year. It’s the incredible vision that specifically inspired the web—and it was about *books*. Half a century later, Andy & I are approximately the only people in the world who write hypertext books.pic.twitter.com/oAgnEZvuRO

Nobody even recognizes what a hypertext book is. http://Meaningness.com says “this is a book” on every page, yet nearly everyone refers to it as a blog. “Blog”—a collection of essays structured only by publication date—is the only recognized form of self-published web site.

I sincerely thought all the references to the "book" meant "the paper book I will someday publish." It never occurred to me that you meant the website itself to count as a book.
