A new startup launching today called eVr1sits at the intersection between the digital and physical worlds.In the words of co-founder Brandon Peele, eVr1 has tried to answer the question, "What does it mean to be human being in the context of 16 gigs?" So the team selected what it saw as the most important aspects of human knowledge and literature the entirety of Wikipedia, the CIA World Factbook, and a literary canon that includes authors like Plato, William Shakespeare, and James Joyce (to name just a few you can see the full list here). That's supplemented with instruction manuals and documents from personal development website Trans4mind. Everything gets copied onto a 16 gigabyte Micro SDHC card, which is then wrapped in several layers of protective tape, then packaged in a leather container with a key ring. The leather also comes with a hand-stitched image of your choice you can choose from things like the double helix and the infinity symbol.
