The year is 48 BC. You are a librarian at the world-famous Library of Alexandria in Alexandria, Egypt. There is an unprecedented era of scholarly knowledge being founded, with you at its spearhead. Your job is to preserve the knowledge contained within the library for centuries to come.
[[Continue defending the pursuit of knowledge]]In a bizarre twist of fate that absolutely nobody saw coming, Roman emperor Julius Caesar is currently being besieged in Alexandria! In retaliation, Caesar decides to set fire to some boats in the port. The fire soon spreads to your bastion of scholarly knowledge, the Library of Alexandria! How will you proceed?
[[I choose to risk my life, running into the burning library to save as much knowledge as I can carry out!]]
[[I value my life much too highly to preserve some dusty old books over my own hide. I never much liked the head librarian anyways. I will go see what street food Alexandria has to offer!]]The entire world applauds your bravery! Your decision to save knowledge from the burning library will surely affect the planet positively. Your love for information is truly palpable.
Smoke gets in your eyes as you sputter through the library's once-familiar halls. Fires block off parts of the library, making it harder to navigate. You find two pristine volumes, but only have space to carry one with you through the library. Which book will you choose to save?
[[Mastery of Locksmithing and Lockpicking]]
[[The Art of Barter]]Alas, no one could blame you for not throwing your life away to save some old books. You observe the towering inferno from a safe distance while enjoying a kebab. Someone else is sure to deal with it.
Due to your decision not to enter the burning building, no information from the library is preserved. The world continues unabated, leaving future historians to wonder about the contents of the famous Alexandrian library.
[[Start over?->Introduction]]Thanks to you, knowledge of lock-making and lock-breaking will be preserved in the coming years. You briefly wonder how this might affect the future. May it create an increased emphasis on material ownership in the future? Maybe, maybe not. You decide that you quite like having locks on your front door, and are satisfied.
(set: $1stchoice to 'lock')
You continue through the library and find another pair of books. Which will you choose to save from the burning wreckage?
[[Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban]]
[[Chemistry in Theory and in Practice]]Thanks to you, knowledge of bartering will be preserved in the coming years. You briefly wonder how this might affect the future. May it create an emphasis on community and trade? Could prior economic systems function without physical money? Maybe, maybe not. You decide that you never much liked the idea of "money", anyway, and are satisfied.
(set: $1stchoice to 'barter')
You continue through the library and find another pair of books. Which will you choose to save from the burning wreckage?
[[Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban]]
[[Chemistry in Theory and in Practice]]Who would have known? A pristine, first edition copy of J.K. Rowling's young adult fantasy magnum opus, "Harry Potter", was in the Library of Alexandria, and you chose to save it. Of course, the author wouldn't be born for a couple thousand more years. It looks like this was simply a case of multiple discovery. Either way, you decide that fantasy wizardry is exactly what the world needs more of right now. Of course, you found only the 3rd book in the series, but future readers will put together the pieces, right?
(set: $2ndchoice to "harrypotter")
You come to another set of books in the burning library. Anachronistic as they may be, they appear before you as a set of famous examples of literature taught in high school. Which of these books will future students analyze?
[[The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald]]
[[Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck]]
[[Neither]]Your decision to save the chemistry book will surely be honored by time. Even when faced with the fantastic nature of the wizarding world, you stayed firmly grounded in reality and chose to preserve information for future generations. That is true love for the scientific field.

[[Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck]]
[[Neither]]You decide to preserve "The Great Gatsby" from the fire. You hope that the tragic, romantic tale of Jay Gatsby will inform the trajectory of thousands of lives in the following era. All you can do is hope that future generations will appreciate the literature beyond a surface-level moral analysis.
(set: $3rdchoice = "gatsby")
Continuing through the mistifying library, you find the "graphic novel" section, although it seems to be populated with comic books, more than anything else. You have time to choose, quickly, between the following two first editions before this section of the library is engulfed in flame.
[[DC Comics Batman #1]]
[[Marvel Comics Spiderman #1]]Future generations of high schoolers resent your decision to save "Of Mice and Men". They complain of the book's heavy-handed message, and say there is no moral "that they didn't already know". There is a general consensus that the students "did not learn anything". Don't be too hard on yourself, though. They probably wouldn't have learned anything anyways.

[[Marvel Comics Spiderman #1]]You flip through the comic you selected. It appears to be about a crime-fighting billionaire mimicking a flying mammal. You briefly wonder what passes for entertainment these days before stuffing the comic in your pack.
(set: $4thchoice = "batman")
A set of three books appears before you. Each one of them appears to be some form of record-keeping log, but you discern that their purposes are more for entertainment than anything else. Upon closer inspection, you realize that one of the books is your senior year high school yearbook. Which one will you choose to take out of the library?
[[Ripley's Believe it or Not 50 BC]]
[[Guinness Book of World Records 51 BC]]

[[Ripley's Believe it or Not 50 BC]]
[[Guinness Book of World Records 51 BC]]
[[High school yearbook]]You always did like that old Ripley character. The gross-out feats catalogued in this quintessential volume are definitely the most essential bit of information to prioritize. Right? You have no time to second-guess yourself before the fire once again laps at your heels, and you are forced to move on.
(set: $5thchoice = "ripley")
You are getting close to the burning library's exit now, and have only a couple more opportunities to rescue books. Choose your next selections, and view your results.
[[Fashion for the New Era]]

[[How Music Works]]Oh, the memories! Looking at this reminds you of your favorite times in high school. Remember that time Brad did a kegger at the football team pre-rush? You're sure that your other readers, although they might not share your fond memories, will find some use in this dusty old catalogue. Right?

You are getting close to the burning library's exit now, and have only a couple more opportunities to rescue books. Choose your next selections, and view your results.
[[Fashion for the New Era]]
[[Elements of Game Design]]
[[How Music Works]]Given a difficult choice in which aesthetic element of the world to retain, you chose to preserve fashion. You briefly wonder what the world will be like without an understanding of game and music theory before moving on. You shudder at the idea of your fellow citizens wearing burlap sacks for several centuries, and take solace in the fact that no one will be able to say your era didn't have "style".
(set: $6thchoice = "fashion")
You see a prominent holy text from your era sitting on a table nearby. Will you pick up the text, or allow it to perish in the fire?

You briefly wonder what the world will be like without an understanding of music theory and fashion before moving on.

You see a prominent holy text from your era sitting on a table nearby. Will you pick up the text, or allow it to perish in the fire?
[[Pick it up]]
[[Allow it to perish in the fire]]You decide to pick up the sacred text and preserve it. Surely, it is what your god would want you to do. You briefly imagine pure bliss, being cradled in the arms of an omnipresent entity which exists in several more dimensions than you. You take comfort in your ignorance. A warm feeling flows over you, and you decide that it is what some people call "heaven", and others "nirvana".
(set: $7thchoice = "bible")
Two epic poems written by Homer are before you. You can only preserve one in its entirety. Which will you choose?
[[The Iliad]]
[[The Odyssey]]You never did mesh that well with religion, anyways; you decide that the world would probably be a better place if you just let it go. You briefly fear eternal damnation as a result of your choice, but decide that preachers' stories of "Hell" are a marketing tactic used to lure regretful sinners to the collection plate.
(set: $7thchoice = "nobible")
Two epic poems written by Homer are before you. You can only preserve one in its entirety. Which will you choose?
[[The Iliad]]
[[The Odyssey]]You decide to preserve "The Iliad" from the fire. Unlike "The Odyssey", the poem strikes you as adjacent to reality. You briefly wonder if there ever was a city of "Troy", or alternatively if Homer based his fictional city on any from the real world. You do not have much time for recollection before the fire's persistent heat once again sets you in motion.
(set: $8thchoice = "iliad")
You come to a section of the library containing textbooks. Which textbook will you save from the flames?
[[Calculus 1]]
[[Advanced English]]You decide to preserve "The Odyssey" from the fire. The political tensions of "The Iliad" could never compare with Homer's true, fantastical magnum opus. You briefly worry that some readers will believe these tales verbatim, and search for mythical beasts from the book in real life. Eh, you think. Surely, no one could be THAT stupid. Perhaps more importantly, surely you couldn't be held accountable.
(set: $8thchoice = "odyssey")
You come to a section of the library containing textbooks. Which textbook will you save from the flames?
[[Calculus 1]]
[[Advanced English]]You choose to preserve the "Calculus 1" textbook from the fire. Despite initial hesitation due to your personal aversion to the subject, you assume from experience that mathematical relationships are hard to discover. Surely, mathematicians worldwide will applaud your decision to save the book. Of course, it comes at the cost of English knowledge, but language will survive. That's what those in the know call an "oral history".
(set: $9thchoice = "calculus")
You are very close to the library exit now, and have only two more choices to make. Which famous play will you take with you?
[[No Exit by Jean-Paul Sartre]]
[[Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare]]
[[Death of a Salesman by Arthur Miller]]You choose to preserve the "Advanced English" textbook from the fire; you never much liked math anyways. Surely, authors worldwide will applaud your decision to save the textbook. Of course, it comes at the cost of mathematical knowledge, but numbers will survive. You briefly pause to consider the question of whether mathematics was "invented" or "discovered" before moving on. Either way, someone is sure to "invent" or "discover" it again.
(set: $9thchoice = "english")
You are very close to the library exit now, and have only two more choices to make. Which famous play will you take with you?
[[No Exit by Jean-Paul Sartre]]
[[Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare]]
[[Death of a Salesman by Arthur Miller]]You decide to preserve Jean-Paul Sartre's existentialist masterpiece "No Exit" from the fire. You reflect passionately on your personal experience with the text after grabbing it, frowning at it as you would a particularly difficult puzzle. The burning walls of the surrounding library remind you of Christian hell, but you are comforted by Sartre's doctrine that "hell is other people". You feel grateful to be alone.
(set: $10thchoice = "noexit")
Your last decision will be a tough one. What will be the final book you rescue from the fire?
[[The Finding of the Third Eye]]
[[How to Win Friends and Influence People]]You decide to preserve William Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet" from the fire. The gripping tale of the Capulets and Montagues strikes you as the most important piece of literature to preserve. You look down at the play, smiling fondly at its romantic implications briefly before remembering that nearly every main character dies by the play's resolution.
(set: $10thchoice = "romeo")
Your last decision will be a tough one. What will be the final book you rescue from the fire?
[[The Finding of the Third Eye]]
[[How to Win Friends and Influence People]]You decide to preserve the play "Death of a Salesman" by Arthur Miller from the fire. The heartbreaking tale of Willy Loman strikes you as a quintessential piece of media which must be preserved. His loss, emotion, and multitudes captivate you before you look down and realize that your right pant leg has caught fire. You snuff it out quickly and decisively. You really should be going.
(set: $10thchoice = "salesman")
Your last decision will be a tough one. What will be the final book you rescue from the fire?
[[The Finding of the Third Eye]]
[[How to Win Friends and Influence People]]You quickly flip through the book before leaving the library. It appears to contain zodiac symbolism and vague instructions for spiritual sensitivity. Not exactly your thing, but you make a mental note to try it sometime before high-tailing it out of the burning building. Maybe, just maybe, by reading this book you will unlock a higher state of consciousness akin to the enlightenment of the Buddha.

[[View my results]](if: $1stchoice is "lock") [Thanks to you, knowledge of lock-making and lock-breaking is preserved into the coming years. This creates an emphasis on the dichotomy of material "ownership", leading to class disparity in the coming years. Rich aristocrats hire locksmiths to forge their safes, while adept thieves find new ways to invade other's personal belongings. Overall, this led to greater possessive qualities among the population, and a greater disparity between the rich and poor.]
(if: $1stchoice is "barter") [Your decision to save "The Art of Barter" leads to an emphasis on communal trade in the coming years. Each citizen has a material or skill to trade, and life is lived with mutual respect between occupations. For a time, money even falls out of fashion. It would be another hundred years before the people of Alexandria again had a use for physical money. The era is affectionately referred to as the "Golden Age of Barter". Overall, your decision to preserve the bartering book led to greater communal qualities among the population, and a lesser disparity between the rich and poor. ]
(if: $2ndchoice is "harrypotter") [Your decision to save "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" leads to increased interest in "alchemy" and other "magical" pseudosciences in the coming years. Several people lose limbs while attempting to turn pumice into gold, but surely you can't be held liable. You simply couldn't resist preserving "Harry Potter" for future generations. For many years after, readers believed the "Harry Potter" story to be fact, not fiction. Fan authors would eventually go on to create their own versions of the missing six other volumes.]
(if: $2ndchoice is "chemistry") [When confronted with an exciting fantasy tale about the orphaned wizard "Harry Potter", you decided that fact is more important than fiction, and instead saved "Chemistry in Theory and Practice". By choosing the chemistry textbook, a golden age of the scientific era is born. Flying cars are invented several thousand years earlier, and increased understanding of hygiene means the Black Plague effectively never spread.]
(if: $3rdchoice is "gatsby") [Future generations of high schoolers resent your decision to save "The Great Gatsby". They say that Jay Gatsby is nothing more than a "poor sucker" whose actions orchestrate his inevitable downfall. There is a general consensus that the students "did not learn anything", although they will surely be doomed to repeat some of the same mistakes. Don't be too hard on yourself. As it turns out, future generations of high schoolers would not have appreciated your decision, no matter what book you chose.]
(if: $3rdchoice is "ofmice") [Given the choice between two shining examples of acclaimed literature, you chose to preserve "Of Mice and Men" by John Steinbeck. Future generations of high schoolers resent your decision to save the book. They complain of the book's heavy-handed message, and say there is no moral "that they didn't already know". There is a general consensus that the students "did not learn anything". Don't be too hard on yourself, though. As it turns out, future generations of high schoolers would not have appreciated your decision, no matter what book you chose.]
(if: $3rdchoice is "neither") [Given the choice between two shining examples of acclaimed literature, you chose to preserve neither! Surprising, considering you are a librarian after all. As it turns out, future generations of high schoolers greatly appreciated your decision to spare them from required reading.]
(if: $4thchoice is "batman") [Between two rare first edition comic books, you chose to preserve "Batman" over "Spiderman". Future generations are regaled by the tale of Bruce Wayne and spawn their own generation of vigilante "superheroes". Later on, your decision to save "Batman #1" would lead to an influx of wannabe "heroes" using improvised mechanical devices to catch criminals. It would also go on to become the inspiration for the cartoon "Inspector Gadget".]
(if: $4thchoice is "spiderman") [Between two rare first edition comic books, you chose to preserve "Spiderman" over "Batman". Future generations are regaled by the tale of Peter Parker and spawn their own generation of wannabe "superheroes". Your decision to save "Spiderman #1" directly leads to an influx of vigilante "heroes" applying superglue to their hands and feet in a series of failed attempts to scale architecture. This would later go on to serve as inspiration for cinematographers of movies such as "Trainspotting" and "The Grudge".]
(if: $5thchoice is "ripley") [Whether or not you believe it, you chose to preserve Ripley's Believe it or Not 50 BC edition from the fire. The "Ripley" volume you saved eventually made it to another library and was preserved for generations to come. Its pages are dog-eared and treated with love until it is eventually thrown out due to the persistent mold growing on its hardcover. This decision basically had no cultural significance whatsoever, but future generations of middle schoolers greatly appreciate your efforts.]

Achievers from around the world applaud your decision to preserve the volume. They are eternally grateful to you, and construct a statue in your honor in the "Guinness" building itself. You are widely remembered as a hero to this group in particular, and your statue in Guinness, Ireland stands for several thousand years before being toppled in an alien coup d'etat.]

Sadly, this turns out not to be useful for coming generations. It will be 50 years until the book is picked up again, and even then, it will only be by a prankster who draws a moustache and eyepatch over the photo of your favorite gym teacher. Oh well. Despite your selfish decisionmaking process, you are still regarded as a book-saving hero.]

Even the least wealthy were outfitted to the nines, although the music was hard to listen to and the games were impossible to play.]
(if: $6thchoice is "games") [Given three significant cultural artifacts, the one you found most important was games; no one in the coming era is bored. They have all manner of tabletop and card games to play and design, all thanks to you. Without a basis of music theory, the music of this era is discordant and inharmonious, and without knowledge of fashion, the clothing of the era is reduced to bare necessities. You create a timeline which is rife with fun and completely lack for boredom, although the clothes are abominable and the music is hard to listen to.]
(if: $6thchoice is "music") [Given three significant cultural artifacts, the one you found most important was music. The coming era is rife with riffs and licks. While those of your era are dressed in burlap sacks and have no game theory to work around, music fills the land with love and you are remembered fondly for your decision. The music of the coming era adeptly captures feelings of love and scorn, filling the void even for nonmusical people.]
(if: $7thchoice is "bible") [You chose to preserve the significant holy text of your time. "Order", as defined by that text, is preserved in the coming years. Many people start families and have children, as they see it as the right thing to do. Those who choose a different path are sometimes ridiculed, but usually have their own autonomy. Later on, many religious wars are fought over land and influence. Lands are invaded, over a supposed "love" for a higher power. Your country is the "victor" of these crusades, although you struggle to see how this violence can have a "winner", a "loser", or even a point for the countless religiously motivated invasions.]
(if: $7thchoice is "nobible") [You chose not to preserve the significant holy text of your time. The coming era is a very "secular" one, with people largely unconcerned by superstition. People are also less concerned with starting a family for religious reasons, and more people from your era date instead of marry. As a result, the birthrate lowers significantly. Later, this means that overpopulation is never an issue. The word "love" is redefined on less formal terms. By leaving the text, you also managed to avoid several religious crusades in the coming years.]
(if: $8thchoice is "iliad") [The sociopolitical intricacies of "The Iliad" were preserved for years to come as a result of your decision. Rulers take heed of the warnings of the "Trojan horse" and "Achilles' heel" and are generally distrustful of foreign interests for some time after, affecting global politics. Bold invasions happen worldwide as conflicting interests vye for land and power. The coming era's politics are full of mistrust and attempts at deceit. Rulers learn from the mistakes and victories of "Troy", but not well enough to avoid repeating them.]
(if: $8thchoice is "odyssey") [Your decision to preserve "The Odyssey" leads to a fantasticism present in the world for some time to come. Some readers believe Odysseus to be a real adventurer, and believe the stories of monsters to be fact. It is not until the entire globe is documented many years later that it is discovered that "The Odyssey" is entirely a work of fiction. The coming era is full of imagination, with many readers attempting to convince the world of the tale's verifiability. Several of the most adventurous readers would go on to capture humanoid creatures from around the globe, blind them in one eye, and ring bells in the town square proclaiming to have captured a "cyclops".]
(if: $9thchoice is "calculus") [Given a choice between numbers and words, you thought the world would benefit most from numerical knowledge in the form of Calculus. Your decision to preserve the Calculus textbook leads to a greater understanding of the world through numbers. Precise measuring instruments are designed and standardized. Algorithmic relationships between phenomena are discovered, and theoretical concepts are hypothesized and proven faster than ever before. "Zero" is proven to be different than "void", although these concepts initially had the same name. The coming era is "quantitative", with an emphasis on how mathematics can explain natural relationships. Some writers felt left out to dry, but someone always gets the short end of the stick.]
(if: $9thchoice is "english") [Given a choice between numbers and words, you thought the world would benefit most from lexicographical knowledge in the form of Advanced English. Your decision to preserve the Advanced English textbook leads to a greater understanding of the world through words; qualitative descriptions are given to objects, and new words are invented to describe the natural world. Synonyms of "love" are invented with intricate new meanings. Languages in the area reach a consensus between pronunciation and spelling, and a greater understanding between heterolingual cultures is produced. The coming era is "qualitative", with an emphasis on how linguistics can be used to describe natural relationships. Some mathematicians felt slighted by your actions, but someone always gets the short end of the stick.]
(if: $10thchoice is "noexit") [You chose to preserve Jean-Paul Sartre's existentialist magnum opus "No Exit" given a choice among three famous plays. Your decision to save "No Exit" leads to a healthy amount of existential dread for your fellow citizens in the coming years. They spend so much time fearing the void that they almost forget to enjoy life itself. The existentialist school of thought is expanded upon, and everyone seems to be a bit more glum than usual. Oh, well. You can't run from the endless nothingness of the void forever. You probably did the right thing.]
(if: $10thchoice is "romeo") [You chose to preserve William Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet" given a choice among three famous plays. Your decision to save the play leads to an unprecedented romantic era. Couples around the world enact scenes from the movie, seemingly missing the point about the hostile nature of unrequited love. Oh, well. You're just happy for them, you say. You say it so many times, you almost begin to mean it. An era of "love" has to be better than one of "violence", right? You probably did the right thing.]
(if: $10thchoice is "salesman") [You chose to preserve Arthur Miller's "Death of a Salesman" given a choice among three famous plays. The gripping tale confuses, saddens, and inspires generations of people for years to come. Your decision singlehandedly leads to a 90% increase in entrepeneurship in the coming years. Later, this would lead to the creation of the stock market a full 25 years early.]
(if: $11thchoice is "thirdeye") [Your decision to preserve "The Finding of the Third Eye" led to increased spirituality among the population. Reports of people finding their third eye tripled in the next 6 months, and incredible sightings were reported that were later classified as "collective hallucinations".]
(if: $11thchoice is "selfhelp") [Your decision to preserve "How to Win Friends and Influence People" led to increased interest in diplomacy. New tactics for debate, based on those ideas presented in the book, arose. This era would later be dubbed "The Period of Reasonability".]
Thanks so much for playing my game! I tried to make every choice different or along a different ideological "axis" so that the combined "results" would conjure a unique idea of the society you might have created, given your decisions. If you would like to start over, make different choices, and see the results of those options you didn't choose first time around, click below. :)
