@BattleDwarfGimli @Largo Imagine how many great books didn't get copied. Well, in some cases you don't have to imagine. But still, imagine!

I'm reading Fall of Rome by Bryan Ward-Perkins. So far it's covering pottery and roof tiles. Not sure what else it'll cover. But Rome definitely fell and there was much of value that was lost for hundreds of years. And unlike technology, there's no mechanism for rediscovering the deeds or thoughts of men.

Preserve it, motherfuckers!
