If you could only have 1GB of entertainment data, what would it be? (sh.itjust.works)

You are going away, to some place isolated... in space, of course. You will only be around one other person. You can take an allotment if 1GB of personal media with you (text, video, music, games, pics, etc.) that you will be able to access in your free time indefinitely at will.

The other person will also take 1GB with them, but you won't be able to talk to them until you're on the journey.

You will have access to any knowledge resources to perform your function and keep you alive. You will never return to a point where you can get new external media. Any additional media you ever access would have to be created by you and or your travel partner with what you have access to.

You will also not know the sex of your partner, but they have willingly taken the same risks to embark on the journey as yourself, and will have a similar mission.

Not a chance, that has to be mathematically impossible. I can't see how such a thing wouldn't break entropy.

Yes. Utopic. On the other hand I start to question my believes in entropy when I see what a 4GB Model of any kind (Image or Text) is capable of reproducing.

Of course, factually wrong sometimes, but who cares if it's for entertainment.

Probably various useful resources (ebooks, guides, articles) converted into .txt files so they take up less space.
