Why it’s on the list: Walter M. Miller Jr.’s 1959 science-fiction novel about monks preserving fragments of knowledge through the centuries after a nuclear collapse — the classic fictional treatment of the monastery-preserves-knowledge theme.
Where I heard about it
- Reinventing Knowledge — From Alexandria To The Internet — cited there as a science-fiction touchstone for monasteries carrying knowledge through collapse; my note beside it reads “Look it up.”
