How do you navigate an age of information overload? This eye-opening book explores the convergence of information and connectivity, defining our era as one of unlimited findability—where anyone can find anything at any time. The author, Peter Morville, examines how the Internet, GIS, and other technologies enable this findability and their societal impacts, as Web access has become essential for success. He reflects on the history of wayfinding and human evolution, suggesting our fear of being lost has led to the creation of maps, charts, and the mobile Internet. The central thesis posits that information literacy, architecture, and usability are vital in this new landscape. Morville argues that only through careful planning and design of software, devices, and the Internet can we sustain our connectivity. The book features full-color illustrations and rich examples that bring its concepts to life. Rather than providing definitive answers, it presents research and stories that support its innovative ideas. Are we at a pivotal moment where the quality of our digital networks will shape our behavior as a species? Is findability the key to thriving in the 21st-century global marketplace? Morville invites readers on a thought-provoking journey that inspires creativity and practical application in their work.
