Books from 1923 to 1941 Now Liberated
I&#x27;m ambivalent about all the weirdness about digital books. On the one hand, I kinda get why San Francisco Public Library has to &quot;pretend&quot; it can only loan out 20 &quot;digital copies&quot; of &quot;The Subtle Art of not Giving a Fuck&quot; at a time, because I guess if you could just instantly use the Libby app to throw it on your kindle and renew endlessly, why would anybody ever buy a book?<p>Still, it is &quot;fake&quot; prohibitions. There&#x27;s literally nothing but arbitrary law and DRM preventing the free distribution of an already-digitized volume.<p>I really hope I get to live long enough to see society have to tackle the &quot;oh fuck, currency as a concept is useless&quot; problem, aka the steps leading up to post-scarcity. Highly <i>highly</i> unlikely, but I hope for it nonetheless. At the very least I&#x27;ll get to see the &quot;oh fuck what do we do with all these truck drivers&quot; problem get tackled, probably.
