THE SKILL DRAIN
Mastery Is No Longer PermanentBy A.M. Winters
Length51m
About this audiobook
Ability begins to fade without explanation. Skills once sharpened by years of practice slip away overnight—muscle memory dissolves, expertise blurs, intuition fails. The loss appears uneven, targeted. As competence becomes something that can be extracted and redistributed, society is forced to confront a frightening truth: knowledge was never as personal as it seemed.
