Zusammenfassung:	"An exploration of bibliography in the digital age and the threshold between the formally idealized state machine of the digital computer and the messy, human, and asymmetrical lifeworld of people. The future of digital literary heritage will be as hit and miss, as luck dependent, as fragile, contingent, and (yet) wondrously replete as that of books and manuscripts. It will be in libraries and archives, but also data centers and server farms. It will be in human as well as machine memory. The future of digital literary heritage will be what we make it out to be
