We need more books about the present

Om Malik:

As an avid reader, I am often amazed how much of our written materials are about the past (or the near past) and the future (and the near future) but never about the present. Is present too boring? Or is too real? Or is it too incomplete to merit a careful and long deliberation.

That’s an interesting point. I hadn’t really considered that before.

  1. Exactly what I was thinking. It takes time to publish a book, but the time the product is finished it will always be the past. Sheesh.

  3. I hate to point out the obvious, but books about the present soon become books about the past.
