Data Smog by David Shenk
Surviving the Information Glut
A critique of the digital information explosion and its harms, arguing that constant streams of data and marketing noise create cognitive overload, reduce attention, degrade judgment, and distort public life; it explains how quantity often outpaces quality, causing stress and decision fatigue, and recommends practical ways to filter, limit, and reclaim focused, meaningful engagement with information to protect personal well‑being and democratic discourse.
