The moon's dance with Einstein, by: Joshua Fourier

This book tells the story of Joshua Vier, the journalist who went to cover the World Memory Championship, and ended up becoming obsessed with its secrets to continue training on memory techniques for a whole year, and he embarked on a strange and interesting journey, until he returned to the championship but as a competitor rather than a journalist. Joshua says: If memory is our way of retaining what we believe is important and valuable, then it is also painfully linked to our disappearance. When we die, our memories die with us. Our preservation of our ideas in books and external memories is another way to fend off mortality. This system allows ideas to pass through time and space, and for one idea to ascend to another until it reaches another mind and the ideas continue to grow and multiply.
