The History of the World According to Facebook, Revised Edition

History. Long before it was the thing we cleared from our browsers, it was a sequence of events that brought us to now. Its moments and actors gave rise to our civilization. As that civilization now squawks its swan song, we reflect. How did we get here? What events bent the arc of fate to create the world we live in? Are we really doomed? Also, is there a way to learn these answers without having to read a lot? Like a brochure or something?

Behold. In your hands lies history – from time’s beginning to today – played out upon the brochure of everyday life: a Facebook newsfeed. You may find it educational,  you may find it funny, you may find it among the ruins of a nameless city centuries after The Collapse, in which case in your hands lies a goldmine of lost knowledge; deliver it to your clan’s elders immediately.
