Let's say that sometime in the near future our society collapses into decay/some apocalypse thing happens/some other horrible fate and books are all going to be destroyed for being dangerous to our minds/burned as fuel/eaten. The only way for you to "save" a book is to memorize it cover to cover so that you can orally pass that book on to others in the hope that it will be saved for posterity. (Like in Fahrenheit 451 or Book of Eli, whatever you prefer) My question to you is, What book are you going to be?
Oh my word, this scenario can be a potential idea for a dystopian fiction novel O.o Although it would be hard to memorise, I would be a dictionary or an encyclopaedia.
