Jun 21 2008, 8:31 PM EDT Well, they will basically last as long as our buildings can last with zero upkeep, so the timeframe of a few years sounds about right. But if we are all gone, who really cares? Do you find this valuable? |

Jun 22 2008, 8:31 AM EDT Te government has layed out special rooms for storage of books. I also Lif After Humans and am Reading the Book. This is a very helpful book when talking about how things will react with Zero-Upkeep. Anyway the rooms are capable of holding books in a stasis like containment for thousands of years. Do you find this valuable? |

Jun 22 2008, 6:57 PM EDT Now, the only question is if they are putting a variety of books in or are censoring out some amazing books... Do you find this valuable? |

Sep 16 2008, 4:39 AM EDT There was a stone known as the Roseta Stone it is over 2000 years old so something should be carved in stone with several langues so future gerations will know about us or time capsules that could be dug up out of the ashes of our societies when they possibly fall in 100 years to 5000 years from now Books may not last long but maybe if they are kept safe in a time capsul they could live on Do you find this valuable? |

RE: preserving our past
Sep 16 2008, 12:03 PM EDT This entire thing centers around what CAN we save, not what SHOULD we save. I, for one, would be ECSTATIC to save at least one of every book written; But somehow I doubt that is going to happen. Therefore we need to concentrate on saving what we can. Reminds me of an episode of Jeremiah, where some techno-phobes would burn books because they were the Devils tools, or somesuch nonsense… Do you find this valuable? |
