Weapons of Mass Instructions: This Tank Library Encourages People to Read Books More!

Technology has become the major factor that less and less people are reading books. Kids in this generation choose high-tech gadgets than to read books. To encourage people to read books again,   7UP has teamed up with Buenos Aires-based artist Raul Lemesoff in the creation of ‘weapons of mass instruction’ in the celebration of “World Book Day” last March 5, 2015. Raul Lemesoff converted and customized a 1979 Ford Falcon into a military style tanks complete with a rotating upper chamber and pseudo-barrel
This military looking car can fit around 900 books in it’s built-in shelves offering books to people who are interested while driving around Argentina. The tank library of Lemesoff and 7UP is a continuation of their ‘Feels Good To Be You’ campaign, which highlights originality, wit, creativity, and innovation.
