Given the many unknowns about the human brain, could we be able to import the information through a variety of ways, such as infusion of information or electrical induction into the brain? For example, without reading a book, we can import and use information inside the book in the brain.
Surely, the brain's absorption of information is not like feeding data into a computer system, but is dependent upon divisions of memory and the diverse ways that information is embedded? That is through experience (emotional, autobiographical, biographical), accepting and retreiving data, leading to prolonged and complex methods of information inclusion.
It seems to me there are two ways to execute this.
What I think you are suggesting is downloading all the information of a book into a person's mind, and then the person can access the "memory" of the book.
What may be more likely in the near future, is some sort of extension/wearable tech, that allows us to access information from a server, at will. Kind of how we use our phones to search for answers, but without the phone and hand involvement.
Cheerio.
