From Stephen King’s Rage to the Encyclopædia Britannica, here are five books that are unlikely to be printed again.
“In an age where readers can get their book fix via downloads or overnight shipping, it can be easy to overlook the fact that not everything is available on demand. Thousands of titles remain off-limits in both digital and analog form for a variety of reasons—some controversial, others due to the author’s wishes.

“A new fan-funded billboard in Los Angeles is begging Marvel to resurrect Iron Man himself, Tony Stark. The billboard is yet another example of entitled fandom gone wild, from a community that was emboldened by the release of the Snyder Cut.

Instead of clips from the nominated performances, presenters gave heartfelt introductions of each actor and their work.”

However, that’s exactly why the internet went down for some Telus customers in Canada over the weekend. As CBC reports, the incident was explained as a ‘very bizarre and uniquely Canadian turn of events,’ by Telus spokesperson Liz Sauvé.”
