<strong>The</strong> future is already here – it is just unevenly distributed.<br />

WILLIAM GIBSON<br />

Nobody can predict future trends with absolute accuracy,<br />

especially when it comes to technology. Today, e-readers<br />

are gaining in popularity and will possibly replace the book<br />

as we know it. But the hottest gadget we use today may be<br />

a dinosaur in two years. <strong>The</strong> following chapters showcase<br />

what is cutting edge at the time of this publication in the<br />

field of movables and explain how it may affect the book or<br />

other printed media that have a 3D or movable component.<br />

Public acceptance of new scientific and technological breakthroughs<br />

that are yet to come are the key to what succeeds<br />

and what doesn’t.<br />
