A twist on various favorite author/book prompt games is to assume good compression and summarization. Example if you had 100 standard-sized books (and 1 book = 20 good Wikipedia glosses), how much would you allocate to actual books? Respond with glimpses of your compressions.

Glimpses of mine: - HHG down to 1 volume - Shakespeare = 1 volume of quotes - All philosophy = 1 summary volume - Top 3 Christie mysteries, uncompressed - Most social/cultural/humanities theorizing summarized at “mostly harmless” level - 50 books worth of Wikipedia summaries

Nice thing about this game is it goes beyond pure signaling and forces you to think a bit past include/exclude
