Oh, it's a great book. Or at least, I liked it a lot. The library mulching was opposed by most of the characters.

This reminds me of the book Rainbows End, by Vernor Vinge. In it, a company uses a mulcher to grind down all the books and shelves in a library, then uses scans of the scraps to reassemble the books in digital form for an AR version of the library.

I agree on the whole anthem/pledge thing, but flyovers do have at least some value in that they give pilots flight hours. Those planes would have to be in the air anyway for training, so they might as well use them for advertising via flyovers.

Calibre Companion, on android. For years it was the best way to sync books between my calibre install on my computer and my phone, even after the developer abandoned it. Then a while back, the dev released a single update that broke the app's integration with reader apps, then disappeared again. I rolled that back extremely quickly, by grabbing an older version from my old phone.

Sluggy Freelance is a classic; it's one of the oldest, longest running ones out there.
