Information anxiety
Book • 1989
Information Anxiety, written by Richard Saul Wurman, explores the challenges of navigating the overwhelming amount of information in modern society.
The book identifies 'information anxiety' as a condition caused by the flood of data, much of which is unintelligible.
Wurman proposes methods to select personally relevant information, access resources, and transform raw data into structured knowledge.
He emphasizes the importance of admitting ignorance, focusing on questions rather than answers, and finding innovative solutions.
The book is designed to help readers make information more accessible, comprehensible, and usable, thereby reducing the stress associated with information overload.
