In another subject line I was going to ask about Sun Tzu's, The Art of War. Then this idea came.
What would Owl's library look like in Prince Narhmahn's VR world?
Like some of our readers' homes, books on stairs and everywhere; a small, one room, study; the Smithsonian (with its archives)?

Also, in other areas we've speculated on well known inventions applied to the Charisian war effort.
What about those others?
The ones with good intent, but may or may not be practical.
Such as a steam powered grass cutter(lawn mower)?

There is one visual from the current movie "Interstellar" that would work for me; an infinite six axis centered upon the reader who has the ability to move freely at any axis.

What say you, my peers?

IMO what Prince Nahrmahn would see is a library just like his personal library on Emerald.

Now obviously any book he wants will be available right at his virtual finger tips but the appearance of the library will be "home-like" (by his standards).

Nahrmahn likes his comfort and what would be more comfortable than surroundings that he'd be familiar with? :)

Maybe Owl will leave an old Victorian Stereoscopic Viewer with cards laying out on a table?
It just may be that Safehold's well-to-do have it already.

Sir David Brewster often gets the credit for inventing stereoscopes, but he first designed the box-shaped viewer. The first stereoscope was actually introduced in 1833 by Sir Charles Wheatstone in Great Britain. At that time, photographs did not exist, so drawings were used instead. By the 1850s, photography was possible so stereoscopes began featuring this new technology

Point.

Of course, there's no text evidence for them on Safehold.

In Prince Nahrmahn's Virtual Reality, everything imaginary becomes reality.
Time is either irrelevant, or relative to the virtual experience.
If Owl can supply him with the knowledge of history and significant works of literature, you know what that means?

Nahrmahn has seen the last epilogue of the Safehold Series. :twisted: :evil:
