Alessandro Ludovico is a researcher, artist and founding member and chief editor of Neural (neural.it). For several decades now, he has been on the forefront of publishing and critical digital culture. In Post-Digital Print, published already nearly 15 years ago, Ludovico took it up for print publishing, rejecting the century-old prediction that print publishing will soon be replaced by other technologies. He discusses the affordances of both digital and physical media, and presents us, from his own hands-on experience, the new frontiers of physical publishing, and suggests strategies for independent publishers new on the block. The most important message of the book that whatever the medium, magazines are supposed to support networks to exchange information and allow cross-over pollination.
