Enjoying Kenneth Goldsmith's posts at Harriet:

"Ours is an economy based on plentitude and abundance; the more copies of our work there are out there and the more readily available they are, the greater the impact our works will have. This is in contrast to economic forms based on scarcity: diamonds, paintings, fine watches."

"And the punchline... not a single person in Scandinavia had ever seen a book of mine. All they knew of me was from what I posted on the web. With my books in runs from tiny houses, never totaling over 1000 copies, it cost them more to ship from SPD than the price of the book. Again, friends, if it doesn't exist on the internet, it doesn't exist."
