When I grew up in the 50s, reading and writing were activities conducted alone and in silence. Twenty years from now, as my grandchildren come of age, I expect these formerly solitary behaviors will be perceived as highly social - something we do, more often than not, with others. This insight comes in large part from a series of experiments conducted over the past five years with my colleagues at The Institute for the Future of the Book. They strongly suggest that when we move texts from the printed page to a networked screen, the social aspect of reading and writing moves to the foreground.

A year ago, I wrote about how we needed to reclaim the phrase "transmedia storytelling" as a community from the plague of buzzworditis that was surrounding it. Sadly, that effort failed: more and more practitioners are future-proofing themselves by moving away - either subtly or explicitly - from the word. Even Creepy Wonka has been getting in on the action. "Transmedia" is on the downward slide of usefulness as a term and it is time to have a frank discussion about why, so that whatever label rises to take its place doesn't suffer from the same excesses and failures. Consider me Brutus in the court of Caesar: I've come to bury transmedia, not praise it.
