Abstract
This essay analyzes Chris Ware’s graphic novel/artist’s book Building Stories as an example of what comics can tell us about the future of the book. I argue that Building Stories represents a prototype of the book of the future thanks to its innovative hybridization of print-based and digital modes of materiality and narrative organization.
