Overwhelmed By Overflows

Overwhelmed by Overflows?

This book assembles scholars from across the social sciences to explore how people and organisations deal with overflows - of information, goods or choices.

The Knowledge Overflow

In an era defined by information overload, where we are constantly bombarded with data, facts, and opinions, it is easy to feel overwhelmed and anxious. We fear we are missing out on important information, that we are falling behind, that we are losing control of our lives. This pervasive sense of unease is what we call information anxiety. In this groundbreaking book, Pasquale De Marco offers a lifeline, a guide to navigating the treacherous waters of the information age. Drawing on cutting-edge research and real-world examples, Pasquale De Marco reveals the hidden forces that shape our information landscape and provides practical strategies for managing information anxiety and harnessing the power of information for personal growth and societal progress. With wit and wisdom, Pasquale De Marco explores the psychological, social, and ethical implications of information overload, shedding light on the intricate relationship between information and power, truth and deception, knowledge and ignorance. The book delves into the challenges of navigating misinformation, disinformation, and fake news, empowering readers with the tools to discern truth from falsehood and make informed decisions in an era of rampant digital manipulation. Moving beyond mere survival, Pasquale De Marco envisions a future where we can thrive in the information age, where we can become information masters, not information slaves. The book offers a roadmap for achieving this goal, outlining the skills and mindsets we need to cultivate, from critical thinking and media literacy to digital mindfulness and lifelong learning. This book is not just a call to arms, but a clarion call for a new information order, a world where information is a force for good, a tool for liberation and enlightenment. It is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand the complexities of the information age and emerge as an empowered citizen, ready to shape a better future for themselves and for generations to come.
