The End of Books

"The End of Books," by Robert Coover discusses that a lot of things are very outdated.  for example, libraries will be coming museums soon, etc.  Coover talks about how these books are giving out information that is no longer valid.  he also discusses the concept of infinity and it is possible to get lost in that.  A lot of what he was saying wasn't necessarily "bashing" books the whole time, it was really just showing that they give us different things.  Coover says that it is important to keep up with how often things are updated as well because technology is really making things change at a fast pase.  This piece of writing was written for the New York Times which is interesting because since it is such a popular newpaper, so many more people are going to be exposed to this topic.
