If you burn all the books?
If all the books were burned, what book would people reproduce from memory? Imagine the situation from Ray Bradbury's 451 degrees Fahrenheit. They collected all the books and burned them. What is the only book, despite its size and the serious information it contains, that people could reproduce from memory exactly and why?

Burn the book - save the tree!

Let us recall the prophetic words of Heinrich Heine: "Where books are burned, people are subsequently burned" (ironically, his books were also among those burned by the Nazis - the great German poet was "the wrong blood").

It is not necessary to speak for everyone, if you don’t read (don’t know how?), It doesn’t mean that no one reads.

media in Russia, with the help of opinion polls, somehow made a rating of the most harmful books in the history of civilization. The list topped the list: in the first place "Mein Kampf", in the second - "The Manifesto of the Communist Party". Next - the Bible, Koran and Torah :-)
And if you cut off the fingers of everyone who writes nonsense on the Internet, and remove all this nonsense, can they recover it?
If you burn everything, including servers and other storage media, then ...
With a fairly high accuracy - low-level technical literature, all sorts of "xxx for dummies" and the like. Moreover, it is not a fact that these books will seriously suffer from such a recovery, since they contain purely general information and a minimum of reference data. This also includes a very specific literature on various funny professions, such as explosives, which Voenizdat published at one time. Those who survived are guaranteed to remember something and that was enough.
Almost no one literally, or even at least some exact thing, remembers and will not remember all sorts of "disgusting sandwiches, bathing in their hedonistic madness" and other creations of the entertainment industry,
Play what is right by heart from cover to cover? Obviously I can't. And I can tell you a couple of books, maybe not a couple, maybe more)
PS. Well Dante "The Divine Comedy", Hesse "Steppenwolf", London "Martin Eden", Huxley "Brave New World" and "Many Years Later", Shakespeare "King Lear", Orwell "1984". This is for the most interesting. And if you take only artistic ones, if you add scientific ones, there will definitely be a normal number)
