The Art of Google Books

Google books made a great impact on searching for books that are hard to find or you just don't want to go all the way to the library and get the book you want while you can just type it on Google books and read it, however Google books has some limit for getting some books but it is a very fast and timeless way to find a book. It has the availability that allows us to see the preview or buy the book or we can have it in our own library. 

According to this reading, which I found interesting, Google books have come of with new kinds of books, which, are animated, and some are really weird. An example is “The examples were everywhere. I quickly became obsessed, and filled my hard drive with gigabytes of downloaded PDFs.” He collected his strangest findings in a book called “Google Hands,” which ended up as one in a series of a dozen small hand-sewn books, each focused on a different type of glitch. Through social media, he came into contact with like-minded collectors, and they began swapping artifacts.

It is very innovative, but the problem seems to be is that there are workers at Google that work hard to scan all the books, which is pretty intense, and if someone complains they fire the person, which to me is very crucial to not letting someone object about something, so with this concept we can question the labor work done when they scan the books. On the other hand the significant thing is the art of these scans that artists have made art works out of scanned book, which to me is equal to labor work and can convey the message for those who scans these books; they actually are the start of an Art!
