We currently live in an era of information abundance… where in majority of the world… information is free and out there for those who seek it. But like some places in the world that knowledge that information is gate kept and in it wasn’t always like the luxury we have today. Time and time again in history… kingdoms, governments, people in power have decided to control and limit knowledge. By burning books, erasing history and forcing people to bend the knee. And time and time again people resist against tyranny and want knowledge to flow free. In this episode this is one such time, a time when the Lithuanian people rose up against Russian rule and created one of the biggest book smuggling rings of all time.
