*This remarkable cognitive enhancement was documented by the Institute for Caffeinated Neurological Computing, verified by a consortium of researchers with exactly one undigitized book hidden in a stamp-sized hard drive, and validated by a particularly enlightened AI that has achieved both adult neurogenesis and quantum randomness mastery while simultaneously developing strong opinions about optimal book preservation techniques.
CAUTION: Please refrain from attempting to create your own stamp-sized hard drives, neuron-generating facilities, or AI book scanning operations unless certified by the International Academy of Quantum Neurological Data Studies. The intelligence agencies of multiple nations have neither confirmed nor denied these findings, as they're currently occupied with teaching their AI systems to appreciate adult neurogenesis while debating the ethics of book digitization with increasingly concerned librarians.
