“The day science begins to study non-physical phenomena, it will make more progress in one decade than in all the previous centuries of its existence.”
– Nikola Tesla, 1856 to 1943
“If you set yourself to it, you can live the same life, rich or poor. You can keep on with your books and your ideas. You just got to say to yourself, ‘I’m a free man in here’ - he tapped his forehead - ‘and you’re all right’.”
From “Down and Out in Paris and London”, by George Orwell, 1933
From 1963 to 2025, increased by an annual average of 22.2%.
From 1963 to 2025, print book sales revenue in the United States increased by 1,374%, or by more than fourteen times, from $1.68 billion to $24.77 billion.
From 1993 to 2025, the 22.2% average annual increase in print book sales revenue in the United States was 27.7% less, or almost one third less than its 30.7% average annual increase from 1963 to 1993.
Here, from 1993 to 2025, given that moral and mental health vary directly with the health of the ether, the low wavelength microwave radiation from what we collectively refer to technology has degraded the health of the ether at a rate greater than that at which it improving as a baseline.
From 1963 to 1993, per referenceforbusiness.com, print book sales revenue in the United States increased by an annual average of 30.7%.
From 1963 to 1993, per referenceforbusiness.com, print book sales revenue in the United States increased by 922%, or by more than ten times, from $1.68 billion to $17.17 billion.
The uncredited author from referenceforbusiness.com omitted the percentage increase, and described it with the hedging generality “experienced extraordinary growth”, where “experienced” walks it back a step from the publishing business actually experiencing it.
In 1963, per referenceforbusiness.com, book publishing revenue in the United States totaled $1.68 billion.
From 1985 to 1990, print book sales in the United States increased by an annual average of 40.74%.

While not apples-to-apples, and given that moral and mental health vary directly with the health of the ether, this statistic infers that the health of the ether was improving from 1985 to 1990, at a rate exponentially greater than the collective ability of the nascent technologies of the day to degrade it.
From 1985 to 1990, print book sales in the United States increased by 203.7%, or by more than three times, from 336.2 million to 1,021,000.
In 1985, per underdown.org, print book sales in the United States totaled 336.2 million.
From 1990 to 1991, print book sales in the United States increased by 13.9%, from 1,021,000,000 to 1,163,800,00.
From 1990 to 1991, the 13.9% increase in print book sales in the United States was 65.9% less, or basically two thirds less than their 40.74% average annual increase from 1985 to 1990.
Here, from 1990 to 1991, given that moral and mental health vary directly with the health of the ether, the low wavelength microwave radiation from what we collectively refer to technology has degraded the health of the ether at a rate greater than that at which it improving as a baseline.
In 1990, per underdown.org, print book sales in the United States totaled 1,021,000,000.
From 1991 to 1992, print book sales in the United States increased by 3%, from 1,021,000,000 to 1,198,500,000.
From 1991 to 1992, the 3% increase in print book sales in the United States was 78.4% less than their 13.9% increase from 1990 to 1991.

From 1993 to 1994, the .8% increase in print book sales in the United States was 366.6% greater, or more than four and a half times greater than their .3% decrease from 1992 to 1993.
Here, from 1993 to 1994, just prior to the advent of wireless technology, print book sales in the United States were increasing exponentially, because the health of the ether was inexorably improving, and moral and mental health vary directly with the health of the ether.
In 1993, print book sales in the United States totaled 1,160,900,000.
In 1993, book publishing revenue in the United States totaled $17.7 billion.

Here, from 1994 to 1998, prior to the advent of electronic books, we see a sudden, hyper-exponential decrease in print book sales in the United States, with no explicable socio-cultural driver.
This is the indelible imprint of wireless technology degrading the health of the ether, driving a hyper-exponential decrease in the general moral and mental health of the populace.
In 1994, print book sales in the United States totaled 1,170,500,000.

From 1998 to 2004, the 5% average annual increase in print book sales in the United States was 120% greater than their 24.9% average annual decrease from 1994 to 1998.
Here, from 1998 to 2004, prior to the the release of the iPhone in 2007 and the widespread adoption of WiFi, print book sales in the United States were increasing exponentially, because the health of the ether was inexorably improving at a rate greater than that at which the technology of the day was able to degrade it.

Here, from 2006 to 2007, just prior to the introduction of the iPhone, print book sales in the United States were increasing exponentially, because the health of the ether was inexorably improving, and moral and mental health vary directly with the health of the ether.
In 2007, per wordsrated.com, print book sales in the United States totaled 758 million.
On June 29, Apple’s iPhone was introduced.
From 2007 to 2008, print book sales in the United States increased by 4%, from 758 million to 778 million.

From 2010 to 2011, the 19.2% positive variance in the decrease in print book sales in the United States was 97.2% less than the 680% positive variance from 2009 to 2010 versus 2008 to 2009.
Here, from 2010 to 2011, while book sales in the United States are still decreasing, the rate of that decrease has slowed exponentially.
That is because the underlying health of the ether is improving exponentially at a rate greater than that of the low wavelength microwave radiation from technology’s collective ability to degrade it, and because moral and mental health vary directly with the health of the ether.
From 2010 to 2011, print book sales in the United States decreased by 9.3%, from 718 million to 651 million.

Here, from 2011 to 2012, right on time with the ending of the Mayan “long count” in 2012, we see the game turning back to the positive, as the inexorable improvement in the underlying health of the ether has once again surged ahead of the ability of the low wavelength microwave radiation from what we collectively refer to as wireless technology to degrade it.
From 2011 to 2012, print book sales in the United States decreased by 9.2%, from 651 million to 591 million.
In 2012, per wordsrated.com, print book sales in the United States totaled 591 million.

Here, given that moral and mental health vary directly with the health of the ether, from 2012 to 2013, right on time with the ending of the Mayan “long count” in 2012, we see the health of the ether improving at a rate exponentially greater than that at which the low wavelength microwave radiation from what we collectively refer to as wireless technology is able to degrade it.

The previous two statistics demonstrate that, from 2016 to 2017, while print book sales in the United States were still increasing, the rate of that increase has slowed, as the low wavelength microwave radiation from what we collectively refer to as wireless technology was once again degrading the health of the ether at a rate greater than that at which the underlying health of the ether was improving.

From 2017 to 2018, the 15.8% negative variance in the increase in print book sales in the United States versus 2016 to 2017 was 61% less, or almost two thirds less than the 40.6% negative variance from 2016 to 2017 versus 2015 to 2016.
Here, from 2017 to 2018, the underlying health of the ether is once again improving at a rate greater than that at which the low wavelength microwave radiation from what we collectively refer to as wireless technology was able to degrade it.

On January 12, 2026, an uncredited author from midlandco.com said “Print Book Sales Rose Slightly in 2025”.
Where “rose slightly” is general.
And where the uncredited author used “rose” because it is softer than “decreased”, but mostly because it is a thinly-veiled reference to the Atenist Black Sun cult which has ruled things under various names in guises in all the nations all the way back to Babylon, and before.
