Secondly, I find the concept of book as static object to be highly suspect. UC is communicating that dynamic systems such as programs and people don’t qualify as dangerous book. But to focus on the delivery method of the text might be overlooking something important.

Oh, there are certainly a lot of important elements if you extend the definition, as you point out, and many of them are most definitely Dangerous. I think there’s more there than a difference in delivery system, though, I think they’re entirely separate classes of things.

It seems to me that what you’re talking about is akin to Story. What I’m talking about is something more like a Catalyst. Or, for a more poetic version, you’re comparing a host of pearls in their varying displays of beauty, and I’m poking at the near-identical specks of dirt that found their way into oysters.

As a Thelemite, I of course define “danger” as a loss of autonomy or identity.

I keep forgetting my <irony> tags.
