What if everybody, everybody indeed, could have full access to knowledge? And what if everybody, regardless of her/his individual circumstances, could access what is written across the world? The purpose of the book would therefore be accomplished; the highest goal for knowledge, its plenitude of access and universality. What used to be a dream, is now a path that we pursue through the affirmation and expansion of the digital libraries. Together with the will of people and the commitment of diverse entities, science and technology can accomplish this goal: by unlocking new areas of knowledge, by challenging impossibilities, by overcoming potential difficulties and by tearing down those which are less likely to be obstacles; by betting on the future, preserving and claiming for the property of knowledge production.
