We thought the end of the world would be an explosion, a meteorite, or a sweeping plague. We were prepared for radiation, starvation, and even killing each other.
But the real doomsday is forgetfulness.
It is not an instant destruction, but a slow, irreversible fading. It begins with the cancer of information - the destruction of the core of the global network by an incomprehensible, irreversible logic bomb. The data flow is turbulent, storage media fails in pieces, and backup cloud disks turn into nothingness. All the knowledge accumulated in the digital age, the entire external memory of human civilization, fell apart in just a few years, like a sand tower collapsing under the tide.
