Interesting essays, all with very differents points of view. "Away from the Icebergs" was probably the one that most challenged my way of thinking. The author's views on library collections and how it isn't necessary to have one in the future is something that I need to think about. While he makes some valid points about reaching future library users, I still think (or hope) that the future will hold a place for the actual physical building.
If I could pick our future, I'd go with the one described in the Library 4.0 section of "To a Temporary Place in Time". Mind gyms. Knowledge spas. Immersion in the luxury of ideas...it all sounds lovely.
