For a serious take on the actual new Dark Age we are currently living in, I'd recommend "The Twilight of American Culture" by Morris Berman. It's no longer about limited access to information. It's about the erosion of cultural values. |

Looks like a solid recommendation. Looking forward to reading it.
A summary (from Christian Science Monitor via Apple Books) says that Berman suggests the solution to an eroding cultural store of value is for the proliferation of the "monastic individual" who retreats from the larger "Mass Mind" culture to assess, curate, and preserve society's literary and cultural treasures.
