The book explores the overwhelming availability of mediated information and the evolving strategies for making sense of it. It discusses how data miners, sentiment analysts, and decision markets aim to interpret vast data sets, allowing them to "speak for themselves." Additionally, it examines the roles of neuromarketers and body language experts in uncovering underlying thoughts and emotions. The text raises concerns about the potential displacement of traditional expertise and comprehension in a world increasingly reliant on data-driven insights.
