Michael Reaves And Steve Perry Quotes
It Was A Pity That Most People Didn't Actually Go To Libraries Anymore, Not When They Could Sit In The Comfort Of Their Own Quarters And Access Files Electronically. Want To Read The New Hot Interstellar Caper Novel, Or The Latest Issue Of Beings Holozine? Input The Name, Touch A Control, And Zip - It's In Your Datapad. . . .
There Were, Of Course, Old-fashioned Beings Who Would Still Actually Trundle Down To Where The Files Were. On Some Worlds The Most Ancient Libraries Kept Books - Actual Bound Volumes Of Printed Matter - Lined Up Neatly On Shelves, And Readers Would Walk The Aisles, Take A Volume Down, Sniff The Musty-dusty Odor Of It, And Then Carry It To A Table To Leisurely Peruse.
There Weren't Many Of Those Readers Left, And They Were Growing Rarer All The Time . . . But There Were Some Who Still Knew How To Actually Turn A Page - And For Those Who Were Willing To Do So, The Rewards Could Be Great Indeed.
