Infoglut by Mark Andrejevic
How Too Much Information is Changing the Way We Think and Know
The book explores the overwhelming abundance of information in the digital age and its implications for society, privacy, and power dynamics. It delves into how the constant flow of data affects individuals' ability to process information and make informed decisions, while also examining the role of surveillance and data collection in shaping consumer behavior and social control. The author argues that this "infoglut" leads to a paradox where more information results in less clarity and understanding, raising critical questions about autonomy, agency, and the potential for resistance in a data-saturated world.
