lecture,
Lewis
Dartnell
shares
work
from
The
Knowledge:
How
To
Rebuild
Our
World
From
Scratch
(www.the-knowledge.org),
a
grand
thought
experiment
on
the
behind-the-scenes
fundamentals
of
how
our
world
works,
and
what
drove
the
progression
of
civilization
over
the
centuries.
The
Times
called
The
Knowledge,
"[a]
extraordinary
achievement.
With
lucidity
and
brevity,
Dartnell
explains
the
rudiments
of
a
civilisation.
It
is
a
great
read
even
if
civilisation
does
not
collapse.
If
it
does,
it
will
be
the
sacred
text
of
the
new
world
—
and
Dartnell
that
world’s
first
great
prophet.”
The
Knowledge
is
a
New
York
Times
and
Sunday
Times
bestseller,
and
was
also
awarded
The
Times
‘New
Thinking’
Book
of
the
Year.

Space
Agency

fellow
at
