More about the book

The book explores the disconnection between modern society and the origins of everyday items, highlighting a time when individuals understood the sources of their food, water, and goods. It contrasts this lost knowledge with today's technological advancements that, while improving access to information, have simultaneously severed vital connections to the roots of our consumption. Through this examination, the narrative urges readers to reflect on the implications of this disconnect in contemporary life.
