Secret Book Computers - The Future of Books Laptop (GALLERY)


Secret Book Computers - The Future of Books Laptop (GALLERY)Designer Kyle Bean created a design to demonstrate how technology has changed the way we source information and relate to books. He made a laptop out of a cheap book to create a visual that illustrates the issue.

Yanko Design notes, “The book/laptop, has a CD-Rom drive complete with CD, a keyboard that can be removed so as to access the battery, and a switch that turns off the screen light once the book is closed. The book when closed, looks just like a regular book until opened. The words, “The Future of Books” is inscribed on the spine.

Very clever design. Very clear message.


We are becoming a society that is more virtual. We download music rather than purchase CD’s, we research on the net, rather than going to the library and reading books. According to Kyle, “Books also have personality - they have textures and smells which the internet can’t offer”. Kyle wanted to illustrate this issue by using a book turned into a laptop. The object is made from a book purchased at a discount bookstore for only £1.50, as well as a few electrical components to illuminate the screen. (yankodesign)
