Make a cheap tablet book that contains all the classics in the public domain so that people from poorer demographics have access to the words that shaped history.
Bad idea?

You will just alienate some people from their cultures, meaning you will get most of them killed. You should check out some of the problems the OLPC project had in rural 3rd world communities. Kids started to ask questions and the village elders basically outlawed the machines. For some people, being an uneducated piece of human trash is a cultural definition.

They have the internet, you fucking bleeding heart head wound. The all have dere phownz, and not only do poorer demographics read more, even if it's social media, they have better access to information—and if they want, they have fucking access to archive.org and can read the Satyricon if they really wanna.
