Comment on Amazon is changing what is written in books

Canticle of Lebowitz is a great post apocalyptic novel. After the nukes, Catholic monasteries preserve the action tradition of copying down manuscripts. Text doesn’t require any form of infrastructure.
There are also many texts/other media that are not available in any digital format. Obscure or older. For as much of an Information Age we are in, a lot of knowledge is being lost through neglect.

The overwhelming majority of my library is actually not digital-native - rather, pdf or djvu scans. I should really contribute to Libgen by scanning some of my library.
