THE WICKED BIBLE (1631)

STATUTE OF ANNE (1710)

Wheras printers, booksellers, and other persons, have of late frequently taken the liberty of

printing... books, and other writings, without the consent of the authors... to their very great

detriment, and too often to the ruin of them and their families: For preventing therefore such

practices for the future, and for the encouragement of learned men to compose and

write useful books…

INTERFACES OF KNOWLEDGE

Anything that is in the world when you’re born is

normal and ordinary and is just a natural part of

the way the world works. Anything that’s invented

between when you’re fifteen and thirty-five is new

and exciting and revolutionary and you can

probably get a career in it. Anything invented after

you’re thirty-five is against the natural order of

things.
