Knowledge is Power: AI and the Destruction of Books

What happens when books are no longer destroyed to erase knowledge—but to extract it? In this episode of AnthroIntelligence: Culture, Cognition, and Code, I explore the strange new biblioclasm of the Intelligence Age: physical books purchased, dismantled, scanned, and discarded so their contents can become machine-readable data.
From Nazi book burnings and banned works of José Rizal to hidden Martial Law collections and modern AI training pipelines, this episode traces the changing relationship between books, memory, and power. Historically, destroying a book meant trying to suppress what it contained. Today, destruction can mean the opposite: consuming its knowledge while treating the physical object as expendable.
But a book has never been merely text. It is also artifact, memory, possession, biography, and cultural inheritance. When books become training data, we are forced to ask what exactly is being preserved—and what disappears when the words survive but the object does not.
