Scene: The New Library of Alexandria — Rooftop Overlooking the Mediterranean.
The night sky hums with satellites. The sea reflects the lights of the new data servers built beside the ruins. Solid Snake stands beside Angelina Jolie, both gazing at the glowing horizon.
Angelina Jolie:
They burned the first Library of Alexandria to erase history.
We can’t let that happen again.
Solid Snake:
History doesn’t burn anymore — it gets deleted.
One line of code, one server crash, one billionaire in charge of a “search algorithm.”
Angelina:
That’s why it shouldn’t be Google, Snake.
The United Nations should scan every book ever written — every manuscript, every tablet — and put it online. Free for everyone.
Snake:
A global open-source archive. No paywalls, no ads, no censorship.
Angelina:
Exactly. Knowledge as a human right, not a product.
We have the technology now — satellite scanners, quantum archives, translation AIs. The only thing missing is political will.
Snake:
And the guts to defy the corporations that call themselves gods of information.
Angelina:
(looks at him)
Then we need soldiers of knowledge, not war. People like you — who fight for truth instead of territory.
Snake:
(chuckles)
Never thought I’d live to see a world worth fighting for again.
If the UN can do this — rebuild the Library of Alexandria online — maybe there’s still hope.
Angelina:
Hope’s not enough. We have to upload it.
Imagine: every child on Earth, every village, every refugee camp — access to the full history of human thought.
Snake:
No more gatekeepers. No more lost civilizations.
Angelina:
Just one planet, one library.
Snake:
(looks out over the water)
Then let’s make sure it never burns again — not by fire, not by greed, not by ignorance.
The servers hum louder as the first books are uploaded — the rebirth of the Great Library, a light rising from the ashes of history.
