4. Libraries embrace the digital world

But wow have they disposed of books and media in house, at least where I'm at. Historical standards from the last 100 years are gone. New books, and I'm not impressed with the few I've read, abound, but the quality seems like everyone with a computer got something written during the pandemic. I wonder if we will have great authors anymore, or just niche writers supported by volume from libraries and Amazon.
