Über diesen Titel

What if the information that powers modern life were wiped out tomorrow?

Across history, breakthroughs have appeared, flourished—and vanished. The Egyptians could remove cataracts 4,000 years ago; entire libraries of irreplaceable data have burned in a night. Today, our hyper-connected, fully digital world may be even more fragile than the empires that came before us.

Drawing on four decades in engineering, technology, and national security, Jack R. Bialik uncovers the rise and fall of humanity’s greatest ideas—and shows how easily wecould lose them again. In clear, fast-moving prose, he reveals:

  • Ancient surgeries, engines, and navigation tools millennia ahead of their time
  • Disasters that erased centuries of progress in hours
  • The hidden vulnerabilities of cloud storage, AI, and global supply chains
  • Practical lessons leaders, teachers, and citizens can use to safeguard knowledge now

You don’t need a PhD to follow the stories—just curiosity about where our wisdom came fromand how to keep it alive. If you want to understand the stakes of our digital age—and learn howto stop tomorrow’s knowledge collapse—Lost in Time is your guide.
