The book delves into the impact of the internet on human cognition and knowledge retention, questioning whether easy access to information diminishes our capacity for critical thinking. Simon Winchester examines the evolution of knowledge dissemination across various fields, from ancient writings to modern digital platforms like Wikipedia and artificial intelligence. Through intriguing historical examples and philosophical inquiries, he challenges readers to consider the implications of abundant information on wisdom and the essence of human thought, invoking Descartes' famous assertion on existence and awareness.
