The Great Forgetting (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780228856979)

Imagine a world where all knowledge is gone, except for what individuals can find for themselves. In this story, people have gone through a period called the Great Forgetting, and they have had to start from the beginning. Electricity, transportation, food, even books and knowledge, have become scarce in this time. While many people walk around in a dazed fog, others have managed to avoid the worst of the Great Forgetting's aftereffects.

Now some of them have decided to act. Maria, her colleague Elizabeth, with the help of people they meet along their journeys, are working to restore people's memories and to make life more livable, using what they know to help others. Will they succeed, or will the people who engineered the Great Forgetting stop them?
