Oh, great, more to read... We live in a strange society, where there is
more and more to read and watch, and we are expected to read it and
watch it, to score social points in "small talk", which is mandatory for
social acceptance. As the amount of material necessary to "keep up" and
compete socially increases and increases, more and more people fall into
information overload and are unable to keep up with it all.
What then ?
Do their brains explode or implode ?
Shall we do an experiment to find out ?
