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.
Kori Krauss writes at the intersection of sociology, psychology, and lived observation, focusing on how modern systems redefine human value over time.
Her work introduces the concept of the “purpose gap”—the structural loss of necessity that leads to disconnection, particularly among older adults. Through clear, grounded analysis, she challenges conventional approaches to aging and offers a framework for restoring meaningful roles within families and communities.View all by Kori Krauss
