You Shouldn’t Be Surprised that Reddit Is Publishing a Book

It turns out that we are all, at our core, Luddites.

The latest proof: The front page of the Internet is publishing a book, on paper.

Reddit is collecting some of its best Ask Me Anything interviews — with Bill Gates, Waffle House workers, Spike Lee, nuclear missile operators — in a “beautiful coffee table book.” It’s 400 pages. It’s $35. (Yes, there’s an ebook version, too.)

What Reddit’s book says about the future of print seems pretty clear.
