The readme explains how to set this up, but it doesn’t really explain what it does. What does this do? I’m guessing it pretends to be a flash drive containing infinite books and then somehow fetches them on the fly from the Internet when the operating system attempts to access them?

I like this. Some binary running on a computer serving these up to a FUSE mount would stop a corporate disk scanner in its tracks (at least whatever thread happens upon the location this is mounted.) I might have a go writing something like this for my Mac.

It's not really clear to be honest, you might really want to improve the explanation of what it IS.
