They read things in normie programming languages, which is eventually compiled and translated into brain assembly code. What they happen to read usually depends on what their CPU can handle, if they prefer the medium of reading at all.

I have a normie friend who fills his bookshelf with Stephen King and G.R.R. Martin books and organizes it by color. Then if you ask him about it, he laughs and says he hasn't read anything since high school.

1984 is a problem. No educated or respectable person has not read it. Reading it as a reaction to someone making a baseless comparison of the illiberal left or the nativist/neo-authoritarian right on the other hand is very NPC.

Not really a book, but whenever i see a liberal quote Karl Popper's paradox of tolerance and then use it as an excuse to dismiss anyone who disagrees with them.

It’s really amazing how a group of angsty teens all post the same memes at the same time with the same intentions have, in complete earnesty.

It’s a modern tragedy- NPCs turning on other NPCs, hopelessly deluded into believing they are not one and the same.
