Libraries are just amazing.

I’m on the other side of the world in a lovely public library in Australia & spotted a book I co-wrote 14 years ago. And no matter where you are, librarians are always the kindest, most helpful people you’ll find. Still, somehow, this magical system of exchanging #books & sharing ideas is entirely free.

@Sheril Wow. Your book was quite... clairvoyant. Sadly.

I am going to pick up a copy.

@adamjcook @Sheril I was just thinking the same thing… Homo sapiens’ storytelling ability is a wonderful thing but the flip side is people believe a vaccine is secretly hiding a computer chip 😕

@lnbolin And those people will still carry a phone with them, as if a real time location broadcasting wouldn't be a problem. 😅

@lnbolin Probably they misunderstood the concept of identification in modern commerce. As Wikipedia article notes:

“Similar objections were raised about barcodes upon their introduction.”

Kind of sad to see how people are driven by fear.
