Predicted Dystopia The government controls all information. We've been forced into hiding. Books have been memorized so that they don't perish from the earth. More likely dystopia Sorry, we don't carry that. All writing slowly morphed into self-help books. No Shakespeare? We only have Unleashed Your Inner Shakespeare. You might also enjoy this book of trite decontextualized Elizabethan quotes.

Most likely dystopia. There is a child in a room with a book. He keeps pressing different spots on the cover trying to turn it on so he can read it. After a length of time he tosses it in a nearby material reclamation bin as it obviously is broken. This scenario repeats worldwide until there are no books left. then the electricity stops working. and all knowledge is irretrievably lost.
