A ship is about to be sent to space just before the earth collapses at the hands of a giant meteorite which will wipe off all life on earth. The ship is very small and doesn't have the technology to hold human life. For preserving purposes humanity has decided to syntetize all valuable knowledge about the human condition in 90 books , which is the space the chamber allows. You all get to choose 1 book to enter eternity. Which would it be?
The bible.
