She and Mahendra began brainstorming ways to use their knowledge of technology to bring back their beloved books.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/ideas\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2016\/02\/A-Team-of-Techies-Connects-People-with-Good-Old-Fashioned-Books2-800x571.jpg\" alt=\"A Team of Techies Connects People with Good Old-Fashioned Books2\" class=\"wp-image-19608\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere is no way you can stop the progress of technology,\u201d Mishra says, \u201cbut you can use it in a way to preserve. We should use technology to connect people, but the face-to-face interaction, sharing books, organizing book clubs\u2014those things we need to get back.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mishra and Mahendra set about developing an app that would bridge the gap between technology and real-life interactions. Along the way, three more people joined their team, two of which are former interns. Together, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wework.com\/locations\/berkeley\/berkeley\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">WeWork Berkeley<\/a> members created Bookselves, released in November 2015, to bring back the social aspect of in-person meetings and discussions among book lovers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe are a group of people who love to read, especially from a physical book (over an ebook),\u201d Mishra says. \u201cWe love to hold a book in our hands, feel its weight, its texture, its smell. We felt that we should create a mobile app that would encourage reading from real books.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s how it works: Download the app and share the names of whichever physical books you are willing to part with. Other users in your area do the same. Search for books you\u2019d like to read by name or genre, then request a swap from your neighbor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/ideas\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2016\/02\/A-Team-of-Techies-Connects-People-with-Good-Old-Fashioned-Books3-800x571.jpg\" alt=\"A Team of Techies Connects People with Good Old-Fashioned Books3\" class=\"wp-image-19610\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This is where it gets really cool: Bookselves has an in-app scheduler that coordinates your meetup based on user inputs and mutual availability. It\u2019s powered by Google Maps, so users can suggest and designate specific public locations where they meet in person to make the trade. Ideally, these meetings will lead to lively discussions with other book lovers in your community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mishra says another reason the app makes sense is because as Americans embrace a simpler and sometimes nomadic lifestyle, they are moving more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/ideas\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2016\/02\/A-Team-of-Techies-Connects-People-with-Good-Old-Fashioned-Books4-800x571.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19609\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPeople don\u2019t want to carry around a lot of books,\u201d she says. \u201cWe realized technology <em>does<\/em> help in expanding the scope of books and learning, but the experience of smelling paper, the intimacy of focusing on one thing, was lost. Bookselves is great because you don\u2019t have to have a huge inventory of books, as long as people in your community have the books you like to read.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Photos: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.prettyinstant.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Pretty Instant<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>They say print is a dying industry\u2014but not if the creators of the Bookselves app have anything to do with it.
