Oh, man, you would never get ghost Egon off—or out of—the internet. Patty may just end up with him living in her phone.
My guess is that the disappearance of books was something that future-shock types were all forecasting at the time the movie was made; like the paperless office (ha ha).
Understood. I just look at it now and there are so many different things he could mean!
Trepanning as life-hack *was* and maybe still is a Thing; I heard a proponent interviewed on CBC radio in the nineties.
