• Not only the Web is volatile. Modern books too. So few (young) people read/buy books, libraries shut down, libraries even burn old stocks of books, or never stock any new books, so most newly-published books barely have any physical copies 'in circulation'. This is so sad. Social control media misinformation spreads and goes "viral".
