I'd really want access to essential sources such as wikipedia, a whole bunch of survival books, manuals, governments stuff, patents etc.
Access to internet-level knowledge in a pocket-sized device when the internet is gone is going to be a massive advantage.
Could go with a specialised solar-powered e-ink device for power concerns.

- Animats 5y agoAccess to internet-level knowledge in a pocket-sized device when the internet is gone is going to be a massive advantage. In the 1950s, such a thing was created by US Civil Defense. It was a microfiche library of how-to books with viewers that worked in sunlight, and major fallout shelters were stocked with it. If anyone knows the whereabouts of a copy, please post. Not pocket size, but liftable.
