Shadow libraries are truly a gift to humanity. Thanks to them, poor and starving people in developing countries like myself can access knowledge, escape poverty and thrive.

It's great to have something like Slum. It makes accessing these libraries much easier and helps users check if a site is down for everyone or just for them. Plus, having the up-to-date links provided is super helpful!

I’m from a not-so-starving country, but I stil appreciate the low-friction of Anna’s archive when looking for a book or article. The important thing is then to go out and buy the ones that proves valuable. In many ways, this has replaced what the public library was back in the 90s.
