What if the story of human progress isn’t a steady climb upward, but a repeating cycle of discovery, loss, and rediscovery? After years of studying historical records from ancient civilizations to modern societies, engineer and global innovator Jack R. Bialik began noticing a troubling pattern: humanity repeatedly forgets knowledge it once considered essential. In Lost in Time, Bialik explores why civilizations keep losing what they once knew — and what that pattern may mean for the future.
“With our reliance on digital systems and complex global networks, we may be closer than ever to our own 'forgotten age,’" Bialik said. “This book is really a wake-up call for people to think about ways of preserving our information so it’s recoverable in the future.”
