Information anxiety is produced by the ever-widening gap between what we understand and what we think we should understand. It is the black hole between data and knowledge, and it happens when information doesn't tell us what we want or need to know.

This was an influential book on me. I read it between college and graduate school, and it helped set me on path towards my masters degree in Library and Information Science.
