Description

"Computers Will Replace Libraries" by Will Eisner (1973).

One of the thirteen little known illustrations Eisner drew for the book Freedom's Edge: The Computer Threat to Society by Milton R. Wessel (published in 1974 by Addison-Wesley). Created at a time when computers were giant-size Univac contraptions and viewed by many, including the book's author, as a "threat to society," these images are clearly anachronistic in the age of laptops, but that's part of the charm.
