Knowledge and Material Culture

Our society has created a gigantic amount of knowledge in the form of data,
papers, books, speeches, images, and more – everything stored in that entity
that we call the “cloud,” appropriately, because clouds tend to evaporate and
disappear. This book goes to the core of such fundamental questions as what
knowledge is and how we acquire, verify and pass it on. It examines the
material basis of what allows us to maintain knowledge in a vital form.
