Too Big to Know: How the Internet Affects What and How We Know
What happens to knowledge and expertise, now that there is far more to know than can possibly be known by any individual? David Weinberger, senior researcher at Harvard University's Berkman Center for the Internet and Society, hypothesizes that the sheer quantity of networked knowledge is changing the nature of knowledge itself. He presents a compelling vision of the future of knowledge in a connected world.
David Weinberger is a highly respected thought-leader at the intersection of technology, business and society. In addition to his position at the Berkman Center, he is co-director of the Harvard Library Innovation Lab at Harvard Law School, and a Franklin Fellow at the U.S. State Department.
He is the author of Small Pieces Loosely Joined, Everything Is Miscellaneous, and co-author of the best-selling The Cluetrain Manifesto, which InformationWeek called “the most important business book since In Search of Excellence.”
