The world’s first ‘hyperbook’ is published in France
Sens des Choses ('The meaning of things'), which has been produced by Jacques Attali and is published by Editions Robert Laffont with help from Orange, is being described as the first hyperbook. It’s a traditional paper book with mobile 2D barcodes in the margins and a website. French mobile phone users can use the barcodes to discover additional information about the book’s subjects.
