All the Knowledge in the World is the planned title of a novella I am working on.
The idea arose while reading Twilight of American Culture when I was about 21yrs old. I am now 42 so It has been with me half of my life. It is essentially part of my identity now.
I categorize the story as Dystopian Futurism, though the future it imagines is not particularly dark.
The log line I have for it is:
IN A POST-TECHNOLOGICAL FUTURE A RELIGION OF BOOKS KEEPS KNOWLEDGE ALIVE. A YOUNG INITIATE MUST CHOOSE BETWEEN NATURE AND KNOWLEDGE WHEN SHE ENCOUNTERS A MYSTERIOUS TECHNOLOGY.
These entries are meant to keep me focused and provide mile markers along the way.
