Writers' libraries and vestigial notes as cultural heritage: minding the gaps in the material record by Van Hulle, D

“…Paying special attention to the risks of implicit material bias, the essay develops an analogy with André Malraux's musée imaginaire. Its two-part structure focuses first on (a teleological and a dysteleological approach to) vestigial notes, followed by the second part on methods of reconstructing writers' libraries (both extant and virtual).…”

The Decline of Computers as a General Purpose Technology by Thompson, Neil, Spanuth, Svenja

“…s Law, has already begun and threatens to fragment computing into 'fast lane' applications that get powerful specialized processors and 'slow lane' applications that get stuck using general purpose processors whose progress fades.…”
