Electric Bookshop 5 is back for another evening of booksperimentation, bellinis and beyond-brilliant guests. This chapter, we're setting stories free from pages and exploring the possibilities of non-linear narrative.

We welcome singer, songwriter and innovator Aidan Moffat: we'll hear more about his current #unravel collaboration with FOUND. Aidan will read extracts from the work which is being produced in a residency with New Media Scotland. #unravel will premiere at the 2012 Glasgow International Festival of Visual Art.

Chris Meade, director of if:book, an organisation dedicated to the possibilities of books and the potential of reading, has been futuristic about books for ages. We'll be hearing more about fascinating projects such as the Unlibrary and discussing how the way we related to the printed word is being transformed by technology.

Plenty of thinks to be thought and questions to be asked, so come for the books and stay for the banter. 

Electric Bookshop brings together people with a common interest in technology, literature, design and publishing. It’s a discussion and demonstration forum for literary and technology types, as well as being a great social.
