Distributed in a variety of formats such as .pdf and .mobi, books are wads of text intended for educational or entertainment purposes.
Audiobooks (sometimes called Talking Books) are audio files in which a well spoken person reads the book to you, similar to a podcast.
Once upon a time books were distributed physically using dead trees (similar to toilet paper). This is rare now. For a more pleasant reading experience and decreased eye strain, you might look into acquiring an e-reader with an electronic ink display.

; [[Wikipedia:Brave New World|Brave New World]] by Aldous Huxley (1932)
: This novel is set in the far future where a trans-humanist dystopia has replaced the whole of humanity. Human beings are stripped of every shred of individualism, and children are grown in bottles. The population is kept under control using opiate-like drugs known as Soma, and are sent to experience extreme pleasure, such as a social event known as the "Orgy-Porgy". They have replaced religion with a worship for industrialism, and the state-sanctioned deity is Henry Ford (whom they believe to be the same person as Sigmund Freud). It is often compared with Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell. This book, the people are controlled using pleasure, and hedonistic conditioning, while in the other they are controlled via fear and force.
:Some trans-humanists are drawn on the nature of the book. Some believe that it is simply a negative, almost propagandist piece on an otherwise Utopian Society, while some believe that it is in-fact a utopia in the point of view of a person who misunderstands. A good article on the first point (it is a negative look at a possible utopia) is [https://www.hedweb.com/huxley/bnw.htm Brave New World? A Defense of Paradise-Engineering] by David Pearce (2014)

== Magazines ==
Magazines were similar to books, but lighter. They often comprised of many short articles which spanned only a page or two out of a 50-100 page magazine. They were distributed weekly or monthly and would often include sections such as "news" and "letters to the editor". It was possible to "subscribe" to a magazine, where a subscriber would pay for a year's worth of magazines in advance and have them home delivered.
Magazines were replaced by websites and comment sections on the web. They have died a very slow death, relying on technological illiterates to continue buying them.
Some magazines still exist in an online-only format, but tend to update daily rather than weekly/monthy and are "magazines" in name only.
