This means storing copies of all the basic books in safe places.

I think we already are at the point where that's the case. Storage is cheap enough that many people have pirated versions of all the major textbooks.

But what should such a culture look like? How could it be installed? I do not have the faintest idea. What we are looking for is an antifragile community or society, living the life today but prepared for a future much much worse than this one.

Resilient communities can give you a view of many things. John Robb wrote also various things on Global Guerillas about the topic.

The open source movement in general also allows much more information to be stored.
