She begins by examining how memory works and then details how we store our collective memories in libraries and archives, as well as in the vastness of the digital universe.In part an entertaining history of knowledge and where we keep it, Before We Forget allays fears and encourages people to develop strategiesfor safeguarding collective and individual wisdom, which we will need to meet the challenges ahead.
