So.... e-books save the world! Yay!

In honor of the late Don La Fontaine, let's do it like this:
"In a world... where the books have been lost, and technology is AWOL... comes a man, carrying the knowledge of the past... and the stones to use it! Only his newly-formed team of scholars and mechanics have the ability to rebuild the grid and spread the knowledge... and only he has the ability to stop the Luddites before they bring the world back to its knees!
"Starring Val Kilmer, Kira Knightly, John Kusack, Jane Kusack, Naveen Andrews, Summer Glau... William Shatner as the Heretic... Scott Glenn as the Bookworm who Broke his Glasses... Bill Cobbs as the Wise Old Black Guy... and Dwayne Johnson as... The Librarian!"
(Oh, sorry... isn't this the Lounge?)
