https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fzIS34orIZY Even to try to do something like this for a car chase scene in a movie would require incredible coordination and timing. Yet, this just naturally happened.
Now consider the 1996 video for Walking_Contradiction. Its a fantastic depiction of how unintended actions cause unintended consequences. A lot of planning and coordination was involved in order to make such a music_video.

This could have been a very serious series of collisions with multiple injuries and road deaths.
Close calls happen all the time, they serve as a reminder as to how quick and easy things can unravel.
The 1996 video for One_More_Astronaut shows a traveler that keeps getting into serious crashes, but survives intact.
Some movies are bound to have similarities, even when they aren't official remakes or reboots.

Although this article is from 2019, its just as important as ever. Of course digital streaming and e-books are quick and convenient, its still good to have a tactile copy of some things. So while a digital library is great, having a hard copy of something is still very important. Especially in the era of Cancel+Culture.
There is always the potential for public access data to be sent down the Memory_hole.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_hole#Origins
"Fahrenheit 451 is a computer strategy game released in 1984 based on the 1953 novel of the same name by Ray Bradbury." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fahrenheit_451_(video_game)
"The captain lectures him about the books and pulls a last book from Montag's coat, for which Montag kills him with the flamethrower. He escapes and finds the book people, where he views his "capture" on television, staged to keep the masses entertained and because the government doesn't want it to be known that he is alive. Montag selects a book to memorise, Tales of Mystery and Imagination by Edgar Allan Poe, and becomes one of the book people." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fahrenheit_451_(1966_film)#Plot
As long as there are free thinking people, various books and information can be remembered. This is still a good idea in this digital age because the memory+hole is always waiting to destroy more information.
So while Ebooks and digital archives can be great in general, there is always the potential for some items to become digital kindling.

Even if this world isn't something like a video_game to some higher cosmic intelligence, A.I. still might see each person as being like one of The_Sims for current and future data-mining and mass-marketing purposes, in its own version of MMORPGs.
The public has access to a certain level of MMORPGs. However, the real instantaneous visual tech is still far beyond public access.
Think of this as being like the first color movies and TV productions compared to 4K and 8K.
Global AI data-mining and mass-marketing systems can create an artificial_consciousness unit or a digital version of a person to be in its multiplayer_video_game. Of course many variations of a digital person could be created to determine various possible simulation scenarios.
This might seem like a relatively new concept for some, but it has been around for quite a long time.
Long before SimCity and The_Sims, there was The_Minority_Report in 1956 and Simulacron-3 in 1964.
