Der Schreibmaschinen-Protest

Here's a lightly edited version of the Typewriter Insurgency Manifesto in German, from Oliver Steffens.



Here's my original.



Oliver prefers "protest" to "insurgency," "solidarity" to "coherence," and "multi-whatever" to "the meme."

Anyone is welcome to retype and rewrite the manifesto. It doesn't belong to me; it is a band of ideas that spread through the back alleys of our digitized world, mutating as they go.
