So this would be really neat for an Apollo (H:ZD) style repository of knowledge in case of global civilizational collapse. I’d love to give the people three hundred years down the road a hand and help them build solar panels and make penicillin. I’d love to share our stories with them, or at least leave them a copy of Bill Wurtz’s History of the Entire World, I Guess. This seems like a great use case for that, only the question I keep coming back to is “how do we tell them how to read it?”
“First, make a computer”? After global civilizational collapse?
And before anyone says books, let me point you to the Library of Alexandria, Nalanda University (it’s said the university smoldered for a month after the mongols torched it), and the Bronze Age Collapse. Fire and Water have a way of making books disappear, this at least seems far more durable and much more information dense.
