The old kindle story of digital burning of Fahrenheit 451 had already shown the perils of using e-book platforms, but the recent IA lawsuit has highlighted a graver danger: with one click, in an instant and without anyone knowing, a vendor can (and does) “update” a book. It is not that new issues of Agatha Christie’s books will be sold “moderized” it is that suddenly you cannot go to your library and find an old/original version. Chilling.
