The Missing Librarians
What Modern Civilization Lost When it Stopped Listening To its EldersBy Kori Krauss
Length1h 2m
About this audiobook
Modern civilization has more knowledge than ever before.
But something essential has disappeared.
For most of history, elders carried society’s memory. Today, they are present—but no longer required.
The Missing Librarians explores what happens when a culture keeps its information but loses its wisdom.
