On a related note, I think Anna's archive might be the last remaining bastion for books after library genesis got shut down recently. Is anyone aware of other alternatives?

At least for academic papers, the network is still around but has moved to a more decentralized solution. Nowadays, the bleeding edge is a network of [mostly Telegram] bots that you give a doi to and they return your desired paper.
It's called Nexus (or LibrarySTC?) https://libstc.nexus/
It's very fast and efficient. I've never seen a bot get taken down either.
Linked from Anna's Archive: https://open-slum.org/
WeLib.org for books AudiobookBay for audiobooks
Is WeLib an Anna's Archive mirror? Seems very similar.
I still mainly use LibGen for books. Got me through college and probably saved me well over $2k on textbooks throughout my courses
