I’d like to prevent many tragedies, but I’m not sure a single book would change history. I can actually imagine it going very wrong…
— Mein Führer, this book here explains our theories about the origin of the German population and about the natural maliciousness of Jews are wrong.
— Let me see… Lies, all lies! This here is evidence of their pervasive propaganda against the aryan people.
— Witchfinder General, a book had arrived… from the unknown.
— What kind of sorcery is this? “Witches do not exist”. “…These trials were the result of ignorance and greed”. What in the name of God is this blasphemy? A powerful witch is near and these are her evil tricks!
A book on how to make weapons or improve trade, so that people will try it out.
But after the first 3 items or so(to show that the book is legit) we shift to stuff that accelerates science very much.
Get them to create electricity and radio waves earlier.
Society gets to progress faster.
Tho, who should it be sent to? Someone religious? In that case it’d be better to mask it as a religious text, where god is revealing the workings of the universe and encouraging humans to find out more about his design by observation and experimentation?

So I need to think of a better plan, lol.
