      Gold, Frankincense, and Myrrh. Of the three, I would use the Gold and buy a dictionary to figure out what the other two are.

      Why spend the gold on encyclopedias when you can google frankinscence and myrrh for free?

      Can’t jump-start civilization using the internet during the zombie apocalypse. Need books for that.

          Have this idea for a VR Zombie game where reading and findings books levels you up to repair, fight, cook, etc. 🕹🔥

          I always thought people with shelves of books just had a poor memory. They're planning for apocalypse. @neiltyson @raindychap

          If it were the apocalypse, gold would not be the medium of trade. Raiding the library would still be free.

          You could download data to a personal server before the internet goes off line. Books would still be a better choice.
