Oh no! A nuclear holocaust will happen in one day's time. It's up to you to preserve mankind's most crucial works of literature.

Within 24 hours you must collect computer files of books and put them onto a 256GB USB drive. Your plan is to bury this digital compendium in a vault deep below the surface. Maybe one day it will be found and our most valuable knowledge can be restored.

Will you save nonfiction encyclopedias or esteemed works of fiction? What books do you choose to be saved?
