This would have been a time-saver

Wired titled their article about the re-emergence of an out of print Blade Runner sketchbook “Thanks, Internet” – my thoughts exactly. Enjoy all 99 pages here or at Issuu.
Earth is trapped in the crossfire of an unwinnable war between two alien civilizations. Its leader is perpetually on the verge of death. And on top of it all, a new drug has just entered circulation a drug that whips its users back and forth across time.
io9 has news about the latest Philip K. Dick adaptation, Now Wait for Last Year. Also in the report: absurd hats are pondered and I’m reminded of the impending Gondry-fication of Ubik. Hoorah!
I might just consider buying one of the lithographs from the 1969 illustrated Alice in Wonderland to which Salvador Dalí lent his talents, as pointed out by io9. Because, you see, they look like this:
In looking up the price of a copy of the actual book (not found), I also turned up a video or three about the project:
With Xmas time just around the corner, feel free to take this post into account when considering how best to splurge on me…
Since I will most likely forget by the time I get to reading it, I want to remind myself publicly to pick up a copy of 1Q84. This NPR review explains why.
Its mention coincides nicely with Kate’s question: “Did you see the time-lapse video of Tokyo set to the score of Blade Runner?”

The answer to which is now “Yes.” What a perfect companion to Murakami’s book.
These whimsical sculptures made from books have been appearing without much explanation in Edinburgh, Scotland this year. Kate tipped me off to a blog post about the phenomenon and I have to say I’m going to be much more prone to looking in obscure corners of the libraries I visit from here on out just in case such a treasure lurks there, too.
The site: Full-Stop
Why I went: article on creating fashion mood boards based on book covers – something that reeks of Kate
Why I stayed: the first look (above) was inspired by The Virgin Suicides <- te amo
Why I’ll return:
“Full Stop aims to focus on young writers, works in translation, and books we feel are being neglected by other outlets while engaging with the significant changes occurring in the publishing industry and the evolution of print media.”
I kind of want all of these scientific field notes as prints for my walls. I’ve always loved the style and the way they are art that truly serves a purpose, even if just a personal one (mainly conveying information from site to office). I’ve also thought about getting a tattoo of a cryptid on several occasions and this is the exact aesthetic I’d want it to employ. This book on the topic (with lots of illustrations) may have just moved to the top of my coffee table list.

I guarantee you most 15 or 16 year olds would be so much more interested in The Great Gatsby and its endless droning on about the corruption of the East Coast if they could play it as a sidescroller. And now they can!

Well, we now know how one might translate some of Danielewski‘s zanier ideas into a tangible paper book.
What you are seeing here is an amazing, handmade German art book called Thoughts on Dreams that has been threaded with hyperlinks to direct readers from one important section to another. It is sublime. I also love how it really illustrates the idea of interconnected content in a way that does, actually, look like a sinewy spider’s web or neural network.
