"decolonize your bookshelf" is the new book burning. with all the talking heads on tv with their bookshelves for backdrops, it's only a matter of time before someone is cancelled for having the wrong book. because people are wasting time fastidiously parsing this stuff.
If book-burning didn't have such bad historical associations, you know they'd already be burning all the books they don't like. They only thing preventing that, for the moment, is the 'bad optics'.

D&I, woke librarians, and equity committees are already removing “problematic” books from schools. This plus cancel culture is 21st Century book burning.

In Spain, one of the governing parties proposed a law that included destroying books, websites and blogs that they would find offensive. Not even bad optics can stop our crazies.

Exactly. "Mohammed's Koran" was the 1st self-published No.1 best-seller in the last 50 years. After 18 months as a best-seller, Amazon banned it. In all that time not one refutation appeared.https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/amazon-ban-tommy-robinson-website-koran-a8812111.html …

I bet it really bothers them that tech companies can't disappear printed books or "correct" them retroactively.

True. But how long before they overcome their qualms? About a lot of things they want to do.
