The volume is a multilingual collection of interviews that probes how a wide range of cultural professionals, writers, journalists, publishers, booksellers, librarians, professors, researchers and linguists, navigate the Internet and its attendant questions of copyright, multilingualism, the future of paper, e‑books and the information society. The opening pages present the same set of questions in English, French and Spanish, then list the interviewees alphabetically, indicating the language(s) in which each conversation appears. The first full interview, with writer‑editor Nicolas Ancion, illustrates the format: a concise question‑and‑answer exchange that explores his dual role as author and digital publishing manager, his habits of writing on paper versus screen, and his outlook on the evolving relationship between print and digital media.
The tone is conversational yet scholarly, reflecting the early‑2000s moment when the web was still being mapped by cultural institutions. The prose is straightforward, interspersed with occasional technical terms, and the multilingual presentation underscores the book’s international scope. Readers interested in the history of digital publishing, media studies, or the lived experience of creators confronting the rise of the web will find the work both informative and evocative of a pivotal era in which old‑world literary practices met new‑world connectivity.
