Shenzhen's libraries and its tech boom

For residents of Shenzhen, borrowing a book can mean walking up to a 24/7 unstaffed kiosk or having a robot retrieve a title from a nine-floor collection of millions. This city in Guangdong province is known as China's 'city of libraries,' and it has just been named the country's leader in wealthy entrepreneurs. It is also the core of China's AI and tech industry.

Do you think access to physical libraries still matters for tech innovation today?
