yep: like so much of what passes for 'culture' these days, i'm afraid

'culture' (literature, for example) is a slow-cook event, and -- usually -- a one-man affair

yes: the production of the 'final product' is collaborative, but only in bringing the idiosyncrasy of one person to the market

this 'unbook' crap is like so much of what lingers out in the public sphere: shallow, surface, ephemeral, as both method and result
