As a human being, a black person, a woman, a lesbian, a feminist, a socialist, but most importantly a reader....

This looks like heaven ✨

Everyone reading my post, the day it was posted, will most likely never see the movie.

Everyone reading my post, the day it was posted, will most likely never see the movie. It’s set to release in 2115. Who knows what technology will be available in the next 90 years, will they even be able to watch it? It will be similar to Gen Z trying to work an 8-track player. It must be nice to have that kind of money; to write, produce, film and make a trailer without turning a profit for 100 years. I wonder what people who are producing things that won’t be released for over 100 years think of climate change? Can we just assume they are science deniers?

Direct Quotes:

John Malkovich wrote and stars in the movie, which Robert Rodriguez directed, and it’ll make its way to the south of France in a vault, where it will stay — or so the story goes — until the year 2115, when the safe will magically open and our descendants will get their first look at the thing. It’s called “100 Years: The Movie You Will Never See,”

That format could prove problematic 10 years from now, never mind 100.

Then again, said trailer looks more like an ad for Louis XIII cognac, which is a partner in the movie (it also takes 100 years to age the brandy).

Wu-Tang Clan spent six years working on their latest album but made only one copy. In 2015, the group auctioned it off to the highest bidder and made the buyer promise not to profit from it until 2103 — though the person could choose to let people hear it for free.

The winning $2 million bid came from “Pharma Bro” Martin Shkreli, the same guy who jacked up the price of a drug for AIDS-related infections. During an interview with Bloomberg in December, Shkreli indicated that he bought the album so that he could get a chance to meet and hang out with famous people.

Atwood is also waiting a century to release a novel, and she’s not alone. In 2114, the Future Library will be open for business, revealing never-before-read manuscripts from 100 writers. Each year between now and then, another author will contribute work.

Primary Research

Future Library Conversation with Craig Cherry, Massey Librarian

What is your view on the future use of libraries?

future proof, design with adaptable infrastructure looking a long term. Libraries cost a lot to build 30-50yrs.

Scandinavian libraries- Helsinki example discussed

ebooks, how print is diminishing yet still important for children.

If you could redesign/reimagine the library what would it look like?

Helsinki library: Oodi

10 year project, service discussion, service design, dream tree - visitors design, express ideas.

Central library, community library model

vs

Dispersed libraries, Idea stores London UK.

What does the community need, don’t think of it as a library first. A vision for what the library needs to become

Community is a word which keeps coming up, especially in articles on the library.

Further research to do:

Look at Christchurch libraries as example- Tūranga

Devonport library. Jon Lennie.

Notes:

-Athfield architects designed the central library

-A library is a community facility, high priority. Services before tech

-Designing smarter not bigger

-Uses: Meeting spaces, neutral space for business people

September's #adventuresinreading was all about The Dante Club. There were parts that made me stop and say, "Wait, what did I just read?" And others that kept me super engaged.

What the Moon Had to Say - A Short Story

The world had become populated by zombies. Not really, of course. The zombie plague had been wiped out years ago, thank goodness. No, what she was witnessing now was a whole other kind of zombie plague. People around her were glued to their Mackpads, iTablets and BrainShares that they didn’t pay attention to the world around them anymore. She saw it all the time on the transit: people reading the…
