  7. Critic's Notebook: Jack Kerouac's 'On the Road' book app is a road trip and a map to the future

    There's a certain poetic justice in the fact that &quot;On the Road" is one of Apple's top-grossing book apps. Released on Saturday, the iPad app for Jack Kerouac's landmark novel &#8212; featuring a variety of enriched content, including commentary, maps, audio recordings and other ephemera &#8212; hit No. 4 on Apple's list on Tuesday, ahead of the Bible and T.S. Eliot's "The Waste Land." That's a testament to the power of the digital project, but also to the novel, which has occupied a visionary place in the culture since it was first published in 1957. (The novel has been adapted for a new movie directed by Walter Salles and starring Sam Riley, Garrett Hedlund and Kristen Stewart.)
