Yuki: Hmm, So this is the computer. Hello, computer?

Book: Ah, I see we have another old soul in a world that has moved beyond us.

Yuki: Huh?

Book: No need to fret. We all become useless with time. I was once the greatest scribe in all of history on Earth. Now? A forgotten artifact. Replaced by machines.

Yuki: Eh? Why not just–

Book: *Siiiiigh*

Book: Sure, they might say "Oh! I'm sure you can still be of some use, if only you...

Yuki: STOP.

Yuki: In all your years, you never learned to adapt?

Yuki: Is it because... you don't have hands?

Any old library book should know to be quiet.

Should it? It far predates public libraries, hell its probably spent far more time that it was unsealed in a treasury than a library. And any library it was in would be a private one, where the concept of be quite to not disturb others wouldn’t exist.

Nice try, but you *can* write new things in old books. 😎 As any visit to a library will show.

[And private libraries can have all the rules they wish including silence, though I expect it would be rarer.]

But mostly it was a joke about a fictional book with an intelligence.

My point was that for the vast majority of its life the concept wouldn’t yet exist, and it was sealed during the time of the last null and only just unsealed. Hundreds of years of habits vs less than a year to adapt, and even the current library is rather private and not sure how many there would shush him.
