Radical Tactics Of The Offline Library Henry Warwick

In Radical Tactics of the Offline Library Henry Warwick describes the future of the library as digital and offline. He observes the history of ancient libraries as copying centers and Sneakernet, and the function of Personal Portable Libraries in sharing knowledge and resisting proprietarian forces. In its most simple form it’s a hard drive or USB stick containing a large collection of e-books, curated, archived, and indexed by an individual user. While P2P sharing sites and online libraries with downloadable e-books are precarious, a workaround is needed: abandoning the online for more secure offline transfer.
