Does knowing the origin of a word help with the way a word is understood or is it just a piece trivia?

The first thing to understand about bookfuturism is that “book” modifies “futurism” as much as the other way around. So bookfuturists aren’t just people promoting the future of the book; they’re also a different kind of futurist, the way a cubo-futurist painting like Duchamp’s “Nude Descending A Staircase” is different, or Afro-futurism was/is different from typically white science-fiction culture.

A futurist (in Marinetti’s original sense) wants to burn down libraries. A bookfuturist wants to put video games in them. A bookfuturist, in other words, isn’t someone who purely embraces the new and consigns the old to the rubbish heap. She’s always looking for things that blend her appreciation of the two.

Coralie Bickford-Smith (whose work I’ve mentioned before) has a new set of cover designs coming out this November for F. Scott Fitzgerald’s books. They make me feel faint with mindless greed. I don’t even like Tender is the Night, but I still want that book (via).
