‘Wearable’ book lets you experience characters’ emotions while reading..
You would be fairly exhausted after reading 50 Shades of Grey……..
Don’t need to be plugged into a book to be able to feel what the character does. You are the character, you share the adventure and feel what s/he feels. You leave your mundane existence for a few hundred pages and let the book take you to places where you can only go in fantasy land.
Tbh ive just read books 1-3 of the Game of Thones. I’ve laughed and I’ve cried I dont need a machine to be able to emphasise with the characters.
Too true ‘Books are mirrors: you only see in them what you already have inside you’. Carlos Ruiz Zafon.
Have people lost every shred of empathy and imagination? Why even bother reading a book if you need a machine to help you “feel” it? Our emotions are one of the few things that separate us from our technological counterparts? We might as well give in and concede to the robot takeover now. This article makes me very sad indeed (better enjoy it while I still can).

Sales of Shades of Grey about to increase!
This is a cute idea, but I don’t see it taking off as the next medium of books though. It sounds like a fun novelty, and since it looks like the book is geared towards tweens it might keep them interested in reading.
