Yeah, I'm finishing up a compleat collection of J.R.R. Tolkien's writings, and am probably going to collect (and read/re-read) all of Isaac Asimov's non-fiction.

There are at least five books with the (partial) title _The Last Man Who Knew Everything_ about:

- Leibniz https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/15770928-the-last-man-wh...

- Athanasius Kircher https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/119131.Athanasius_Kirche...

- Thomas Young https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/763029.The_Last_Man_Who_...

- Joseph Leidy https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/119125.Joseph_Leidy

- Enrico Fermi https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/34746094-the-last-man-wh...

Maybe instead I'll start with those biographies...

surprised Sir Francis Bacon wasn't described thus....
