Books are also stuck in time. I like Ben Thompson's position here (Stratechery) - his ideas are moving so quickly that he doesn't want to have them stuck in time in a book. He publishes a lot of content and regularly goes back and posts updates to his ways of thinking. I guess you can approximate this with new book editions, but there will always be outdated published versions in circulation without updated context. Ben keeps old articles as they are but includes links to updated articles.



"Stuck in time" is a positive. Why should I pay attention to a writer who's constantly changing their mind and retracting their work?


That he is staying up to date in the ever changing landscape that is tech field?
