Yall keep overreacting to this bs, what's even a rare book with no other copies, every article I saw says the books were scheduled to be destroyed or taken to a dump, and those are the books they are swooping up. I have a feeling rare means like 1st edition or one with typos or some sht. These are books ppl already weren't buying that they are grabving in mass. All knowledge and all books aren't important, plenty of below average intelligence ppl dropping slop long before ai became a thing. Any book that you value obviously already has tons of physical copies and digital backups.
This isn't them looting some ancient libraries/museums taking some hidden/secret knowledge from humanity like yall are making up in your heads.
Sounds like propaganda to me.
