Pithy word bombs
This may not be so new. I'll bet the words "hegemony of the amateur"
(in German) are buried somewhere in the dense text of Arno Schmidt's
magnum opus, Zettels Traum.
It was published in 1970.
The book is laid out on a three-column template, just like some weblogs. It's hypertext without the links. Schmidt actually typed the whole manuscript in three columns on his typewriter.
It's thousands of pages long--what a madman!
This guy was inhuman, so wouldn't you know he was the great uncle of Dave Winer, the old Centaur himself.
Dave Winer, say thank you to your uncle Arno.
