Kids nowadays barely know what a book is! 
Agreed.
A personal anecdote.
Like so many individuals back in the late 1960s, I joined mail-in book clubs that you normally found advertising in magazines or comic books (next to the Sea Monkeys or build your own personal submarine ads

) A book I started reading, but never finished (I lost the book) was Gerry Turner's "Stranger from the Depths." As the years passed by, the title of this book completely escaped me. Call it nostalgia, I decided I would try to locate the name of this book. This was an on and off search over decades.
Search engines, Sci-fi/Adventure book index releases from the 1960s and libraries failed to help me find the name of this most elusive book. The only clues I had was that I remembered a few details from a single paragraph and that the book was purchased just after the Apollo 11 Mission.
Enter A.I.
After entering the clues I had into ChatGPT, it returned a list of suggested titles to research and Et voilà I located my missing book from decades past. A quick trip to Amazon, I was able to find a used copy and promptly ordered it. It was truly an interesting sensation finally holding a book that you started reading 57 years ago.
Be well...
