Some people say that in the future traditional forms of money, coins, banknotes and even cheques

will completely disappear within the next few years and be entirely replaced by credit cards and other
mechanical or digital methods of paying. Whats your opinion?

Unsurprisingly, those who express doubt at the glitizification of literary prizes are routinely
ignored. Dont we want people to buy more books? We do. Does the popularity of a book rule out its
artistic or intellectual merit? It doesnt. But do we wonder if the pressures of promotion compromise
the already shaky integrity of the literary prizes? Possibly.

Mediocre writers are often spoken of as promotable which roughly translates as physically
attractive or possessed of an interesting personal life, but which can easily become confused with
ability. There are several examples of such contrived reputations currently walking around, while
writers of real innovation, quality and depth battle to stay on their publishers lists.
