Today, I'm excited to announce our next title!

Augment is a forthcoming book featuring a collection of essays on the future of personal computing — specifically, on the kind we’d like to see more of in the future, and the ideas that might help us get there.

We’re opening a call for submissions today: https://buddybindery.com/pages/augment

We hope you’ll share it with those you think might write great essays for Augment, and even consider writing one yourself.

There’s so much wonderful writing and idea-sharing happening online in the field right now. Augment is meant to be an enduring artifact putting a spotlight on this kind of work, and offering some guidance for its future.

When we started our small press we set out to learn how to make great books - enduring in both content and construction - and we hoped we’d get the chance to bring others’ works to life within them.

For Augment, we turned to our good friend and prolific creator of novel user interfaces, John Underkoffler, who will be coeditor. Confirmed authors include Alan Kay, Alex McDowell, and Ben Fry.

We're excited to put what we've learned to use publishing new work by many thinkers & authors in Augment!

@alexobenauer Perhaps that could be interesting to propose something linked to notebook project @stph @raphaellek ?

@alexobenauer Thank you for running this!

Since its a topic I like thinking about in exorbitant detail, I guess I should write one...
