>One of the great treasures of the internet is Google books

I'm not saying your wrong... I just don't think that's enough. It's still digital. It can be changed and who would know? Yea, I guess the same can apply to print media... but if 10 people have a print-dated copy of something, you can cross reference on potential forgery-changes. You don't really get that with something like Google Books.

But again, physical copies still aren't perfect because of environmental impact. Storage. Care. Reprinting over time. What's worth reprinting? Fires. Floods. Organizing.

Though.... damn... I can't believe I'm saying this. I'm the first one, when the day comes, to happily pull the plug on cryptocurrency when humanity is done with the stupid thing... but after McAfee eats his own dick (look up his bitcoin bet if you don't know what I'm talking about). However, a distributed ledger of important libraries isn't the worst idea... minus the stupid fucking coin part. Just... that needs to be dropped.
