It wasn't able to for me, I put it into ChatGPT 4 before I posted this and it was pretty sure I was talking about Diamond Age, and then went on to floss me about how "literally shredding and scanning books isn't a part of the book, but it fits the vibe" (my summary of it's answer).

Thanks for reminding me about Rainbows End.

Aside: I remembered search history so I went over to make sure it was in Chat GPT and not Perplexity, but I've looked at both of those and can't seem to find a record of asking either one about shredding and scanning books. I could have sworn it was GPT 4. Now I wish I could find out. I did just ask Bard and it provided a list that included The Diamond Age, but did not include Rainbows End, though I'm quite sure that isn't where I looked before.
