How Knowledge Is Lost—and What That Could Mean for the Digital Age
A wide-ranging history of science and technology, Lost in Time examines how discoveries, practices, and records can fade from collective memory. It moves between ancient knowledge—citing early cataract surgery in Egypt—and broader accounts of forgotten eras and lost civilizations, using these cases to consider the recurring pattern of discovery followed by oblivion. The book also turns its attention to contemporary dependence on digital systems, arguing that modern civilization may be vulnerable to a major loss of stored knowledge without deliberate safeguards. Its subject spans historical inquiry, technological continuity, and the preservation of information.

This historiography of science and technology delves into forgotten epochs like lost civilizations and unveils surprising facts such as cataract surgery's origins in 2400 BC Egypt. However, it is a stark reminder - we stand on the brink of another catastrophic loss of knowledge if we do not take the necessary precautions.

Jack R. Bialik's 40-year career spans from Electrical Engineering and Project Management to biblical studies, with notable contributions to organizations like the U.S. Air Force and the Department of Homeland Security. His industry-impacting paper, presented at the Motorola System Symposium 2000, stands out among his many achievements. His unique expertise led him to be invited to be a reviewer for the White House's Broadband Technology Opportunities Program, marking another career highlight. Today, as the Chief Technology Officer of a niche Crypto-Mining company, he continues influencing the technology landscape. However, Jack's interests extend beyond his profession, with a certificate from the Awakening School of Theology and his interest in ancient history. His commitment to societal welfare is seen through his involvement with at-risk teens and clean water initiatives in Haiti. Jack is a consummate professional and committed humanitarian, exemplifying the power of lifelong learning and altruism.
