What does our current literary output have to offer when viewed from the future? Perhaps our literature will be characterized as a battle of political pundits and entertainment celebrities. On the other hand, sensitive students of literature would shudder at this thought, hoping instead that today’s literature would achieve increased sophistication.

As a further footnote, what effect might we expect now that major publishers no longer have control over literary output? In a situation where anyone can publish, will writers' newfound freedom debase our literary accomplishments or lead to heretofore unseen levels of transparency. No more can special interest groups censor our literature by threats to publishers, stifling and channeling public discourse.

How will today’s literature look to literacy critics and historians of 2100 and beyond?
