Shortly after the Authority took over Monstru, there was an outbreak of the “book plague.”
Newspapers reported that books were contaminated with a fungal virus that had the potential to “kill every living thing in Monstru.” The only way to protect us from this terrible outbreak was to burn all of the books. Every town and city hosted bonfires, and CrowBot helpers (much smaller then) served cocoa. In just a few weeks time, the hysteria consumed our literature and history. The scant books that did survive are housed in the Monstru Public Library vaults.
