Future Writing

This afternoon I had a talk with Chi about literature in the future. He said that all revolves around the very single question: cryptography. How does one encode signs into what pattern and how would others decode that pattern to get signs back to what it intends to.

Though some points therein need elaboration, I can see the rationale within.

The question urgent to myself is none other than this: if I want to write, either literary works or works about literature, in what pattern should I encode my signs to keep faithful to my view of literature in the future, and on what would that view of mine predicate itself?

The question is worth one's thoughts for a long time to come. Yet it enthrals me.
