Never before have we had so much information at our fingertips. You
might think that we are better-informed than ever, but there's one
thing we can't ask Google: 'What should I be googling?' The way we
consume information in the digital age has been blamed for driving
political polarisation and leaving us unable to agree on basic
facts. It's also making us stupider. Personalised news feeds and
social media echo chambers narrow our potential knowledge base. By
now, we don't even know what we don't know. In Head in the Cloud,
William Poundstone investigates the true worth of knowledge. An
entertaining manifesto underpinned by big data analysis and
illustrated by eye-opening anecdotes, it reveals the surprising
benefits of broadening your horizons and provides an unnerving look
at the consequences of being ill-informed.
