BURNING BOOKS: Social networks are more destructive than any bonfire

"Where they burn books, they will, in the end, burn human beings too." - Heinrich Heine, Almansor (1821)

Once there were only books and people on wooden crates, shouting different opinions so that other people would hear and follow in their footsteps. These were thoughts and beliefs. These were soon joined by social perceptions that were passed from person to person through books, first written by hand and then published by printing machines.
