To me it's twitter being used as it was born to be used. Instead of a multi-chapter set of tweets to try to prove some complex point the author just threw a short, vague statement into the void. Judging by the responses it worked well. Followup comments uncovered good reasons to get physical copies of books you want to read again.

Agree. I couldn't decide if:

* Supply chain issues were going to cause problems * Bookstores are closing * Books are going to be banned some how? * We should buy the books because it forces us to read more * The power grid is going to fail and we will be bored * Something else?

World War 3. EMP. no more downloadable shit (unless you got your stuff in a giant faraday cage)
