It is often said that the Chinese have a powerful curse for those they dislike: May you live in interesting times! While a little research suggests that this attribution to China may be false (it is believed the story may have been invented by an old China Hand in the UK Foreign Office in the 1920s), the relevance of such a imprecation to much of the cataclysmic changes we see in publishing could not be more apt.
