I often refer to my house as my library. Every room has at least one bookshelf and almost every room has piles of books that won't fit on the existing shelves.
Literature has always been my gateway to the world. The bookless utopia proposed by Bill Gates (in 2001) is a nightmare.
I think it would look like "The Obsolete Man" (one of my favorite Twilight Zone episodes).
If printed books are abolished (fat chance), I'll change my last name to Wordsworth.
The Obsolete Man Part 1
"The Premature Obituary of the Book" by Mario Vargas Llosa
