It was a privilege to work there and definitely the best period of my career. So many wonderful people and experiences in such a short time. I personally consider Brewster Kahle a severely underrated hero of our age. The Archive's work is extremely valuable but I think the value will be appreciated only by a future generation.
As for the book, I think if The Archive had novel for a totem, it'd be "A Canticle For Leibowitz". Very much affected my world view when I read it and this thread has just kindled my interest again. :)
