I have created a new type of media for a post scarcity world, and documented it in the Book of Geometron. The book is free in html and pdf(in two sizes, the bigger of which is for standard printer paper) at www.trashrobot.org, and there is also a link there to a print-on-demand version at Lulu press for a bound copy. Also the Latex files used to generate it are fully public domain and published at https://github.com/LafeLabs/bookofgeometron. I'm not good at marketing and summarizing, the majority of the work here was creating the actual system, this book just documents it. The author of the book is Trash Robot, which is me, but is also intended to be a swarm with no one central author. The code which generates the book has scripts described in the book which replicate the whole system, including a version of the book which readers can edit, thus becoming part of the author swarm. This code does a lot of things besides carry the book, but the book is needed to document the code. It was originally on the Raspberry Pi, but can also run on Windows, mac, android, ios, and any version of linux(install instructions at trashrobot.org).
thanks!
