When I was in library school in the late 80s, we were talking about the paperless society and the computer age (and this was with monochrome screens and green letters).
I was in journalism school in the 80s, and they were all agog about the paperless newspapers. That was one of the reasons I chose a different direction after graduating.
E-paper makes 1984 too easy. In the book, burning the old histories, printing new ones, and carefully aging the paper to look authentic was an expensive endeavor. E-paper make it trivial.

Such an outmoded name? This library has nothing much to do with intercourse?

Actually, it would be more accurate to call it “The Google Shop”…
