I’m reading The #DarkAges by #IsaacAsimov, and it turns out that it’s the text that is the original source material for a bunch of Wikipedia articles which I’ve perused over the course of spelunking down digital rabbit-holes for two decades.

@paninid @histodons eek. I'm sure Asimov did an ok job, but there's much better out there.
