@jalefkowit I remember running a book discussion group on a platform called shelfari, which doesn't exist now thank you, Amazon. We were discussing We Are Iran, and trying to communicate with participants there. Their access was touch and go, and then we didn't hear from them at all. Could we go to that dark place. I don't place it beyond the realm of the possible. A total internet shutdown may not be possible, but a major disruption could happen if the gov't declares a state of emergency.

Literally the only benefit that has accrued to me over 30 years of writing in public has been the occasional note I received from someone telling me that something I wrote was meaningful to them. -

Me, personally, I think it's unrealistic to try to produce for a market in the traditional way. And besides, who knows that the world won't go back to traditional publishing and we'll all need to go get those annual volumes to research book and journal publishers. I mean, will we always have the internet. Will we in America always have this freedom.

That reminds me of dark classrooms and cutting up during presentations.
