Of course, there won't even be newspapers in 2063....


I just discovered this quote from Vladimir Nabokov:
With the Devil's connivance I open a newspaper of 2063 and in some article on the books page I find: "Nobody reads Nabokov and Fulmerford today." Awful question: Who is this unfortunate Fulmerford?
Who, indeed? I want to know.

    Wasn't he just pulling our collective legs?

    Don't worry, there will be newspapers, we will just open them with a click of the mouse instead of the flip of the wrist.
