Manifesto
The World's Knowledge at Your Fingertips
The world holds centuries of brilliance—Einstein's physics, Nietzsche's philosophy, Jobs' innovation. Visionaries spend lifetimes refining ideas, making breakthroughs, and distilling their wisdom into books.
Yet instead of tapping into this gift, most people are stuck in the endless scroll. Imagine the innovations that could happen—or worse, the ones that won't—if we continue prioritizing fleeting content over deep knowledge.
The State of Reading
Big tech has tried to digitize reading—pushing eBooks and Kindles as the future. But screens fragment focus, and digital reading has never replaced the depth of physical books.
- 65% of Americans still prefer print—the texture, the weight of a book, the immersive experience.
- In 2023, over 757 million print books were sold in the U.S.—a testament to the enduring power of physical reading.
Yet, while print remains king, it lacks what digital tools offer: engagement, accessibility, and efficiency.
Readers want to get lost in books and absorb knowledge—not just passively consume words.
