The document discusses the future of libraries and information sharing in three parts: 1) the rise and fall of ebook startups due to business pressures, 2) the possibility of "data vandalism" through unauthorized sharing of academic works, and 3) the role of "radical librarians" in embracing new technologies like blockchain and the dark web to expand access to information.

24. From information science to data science?
The Digital Book Thief has a Napster Moment - Near Future Library Symposium - University of Edinburgh - May 2018
From http://karpathy.github.io/2015/05/21/rnn-effectiveness/
VIOLA: Why, Salisbury must find his flesh and thought
That which I am not aps, not a man and in fire,
To show the reining of the raven and the wars
To grace my hand reproach within, and not a fair are hand,
That Caesar and my goodly father's world;
When I was heaven of presence and our fleets,
We spare with hours, but cut thy council I am great,
Murdered and by thy master's ready there
My power to give thee but so much as hell:
Some service in the noble bondman here,
Would show him to her wine.
KING LEAR: O, if you were a feeble sight, the courtesy of your law,
Your sight and several breath, will wear the gods
With his heads, and my hands are wonder'd at the deeds,
So drop upon your lordship's head, and your opinion
Shall be against your honour.
