It might be a good idea to still have physical library books as a backup. Sure, its nice to carry around 1000s of digital books when the alternative would be a moving truck. However, the physical books remain could remain in a physical library building. While the data in digital books could be available as a 24-7 download or web browsing session.

The+Electric+Life is quite a fine example of visionary sci-fi.
Sometimes sci-fi ends up intersecting with things in the most peculiar ways.

And sometimes reality becomes stranger than fiction.

Some people think that synchronicity is right out of the paranormal. Its actually more common than most people realize.
