      I very much doubt that the spines are even legible (even if they were, there would be nothing to hide).

      It’s just that people in the field I work in mostly think books are outdated, which is of course complete nonsense, but somehow that’s how they define themselves.

        What field? I’m in tech and even I don’t know anyone who thinks like that. Most don’t make time to read but I’ve never heard anyone say books are outdated. Maybe as a form of LLM worship, but I don’t work with those people lol

        No offense, but the people in your field sound like legit wackos lol

        Next they’ll be saying public education is outdated.

      I also get weird looks in professional zooms with my signed copy of Morning Glory Milking farm in the background
