Writing is a future proof art along with traditional visual art if you want to take a utilitarian approach. In a few hundred years, if humans are still around, we will still be reading physical books and speaking and seeing. This isn’t certain with any software based medium.
Art today is immediate and demands multiple senses. I wouldn’t be surprised if the oral tradition makes a comeback given the popularity of podcasts, particularly some new fiction I’ve seen topping charts on Apple. I’ve been thinking about continuing to write short stories, and then editing them down into a format to be recited orally, maybe even with a video element as a test run before something longer. It wouldn’t be an audiobook, but something more immediate and brief with an aesthetic element of the other senses. Thoughts?
