An interesting question: Your bookshelf and the World.

[Omniscientone]

I had a friend ask me this question recently, and I wanted to share with you guys. By some sort of freak super weapon, all people and signs of human civilization will soon be destroyed. The mad scientist who created this weapon, interested in what kind of civilization would be founded afterwards, decides to provide a way for a small group of children to survive this apocalypse. He then asks you to provide three books from your collection, which will make up all knowledge for the future world. What three books would you provide?
