Currently reading: The Age of Reason Begins by Will Durant šŸ“š

One of the great diseases of this age is the multitude of books that doth so overcharge the world that it is not able to digest the abundance of idle matter that is every day hatched and brought into the world.

Barnaby Rich, known primarily for his Elizabethan short stories, wrote this in the year 1600. I wonder what Barnaby would think of our always-connected and ever-distracted present day?

@ovr Oh, the irony! Honestly, if time travel were ever invented, we should only go back in time, never forward. We can laugh about what old Barnaby might think today, but Iā€™m pretty sure my head would literally explode if I tried to process the technological landscape of the year 2424.
