Can't remember the book's name but story goes something like this: scientists invent a machine that gives people all the wisdom and knowlegde in the world. This leads to people becoming having anxiety attacks etc due to worrying about all the sh1t that actually happens all the time everywhere etc. So the scientists reverse the machine's settings, making people to forget everything and to lose wisdom and knowledge. Thus world (humanity) is saved as everybody becomes worryfree.
