Cultural Amnesia: America's Future and the Crisis of Memory by Stephen Bertman.
Praeger. 2000. 176 pages.
American society is losing its memory: 60% of American adults cannot name the president who ordered the dropping of the first atomic bomb, and 42% of college seniors cannot place the Civil War in the correct half of the nineteenth century.
This loss of culture memory, as insidious as Alzheimer's disease, eats away at the soul of the nation, says Bertman, author of Hyperculture. He argues that, to build a culture worthy of the future, Americans need to move away from their materialistic, present?oriented lives and get more in touch with other dimensions of time.
