[Ah, perfect. Derris-Kharlan has something similar. An electronic database of some kind, by the looks of it.]
Something like that, yes. [Skulduggery pauses to think about it.] A library. A repository of knowledge. Many, many books, and books-but-not-books, electronically stored just like this -- [He points at the console.] -- and sent all over the planet constantly. [To emphasise the point, Skulduggery draws a circle in the air with two fingers.] The whole planet.
[He'd been wondering how to explain the internet, and Kratos then explained the internet for him. Skulduggery suspects this won't be the last time it happens. Kratos is picking up English in leaps and bounds.]
You have computers, but you don't have streetlights? Your people were a bit eager, weren't they?
