A lot has been said about the tremendous benefits of today's Information Age. However, are there negative side effects of easily available abundant information from diverse sources?
Information has fostered a plethora of knowledge subjects that are not all equal. Vulnerabilities of the scientific method are getting exposed more often and thereby eroding science’s credibility with the general public. Our mental capacity has limitations in dealing with the quantity and variety of the information overload.
The book is an intellectual trip based on thought experiments, head-smacking experiences, and curious observations to assess and deal with the Perils of Information Age: - Impotency of certain college majors and academic training - Junk science behind statistical studies analyzing complexity - Analysis-paralysis of data analytics - Increasing strain on our cognitive abilities
If you are bothered by the similar issues, the book might interest you I would be grateful if you can review my work.
