Head in the Cloud: Why Knowing Things Still Matters When Facts Are So Easy to Look Up by William Poundstone
4.0
Many many facts and survey results.
Many many correlations with discussion of related factors.
Some good takeaways, but my favorite is “When the public doesn’t have enough facts to think about something, the public is less wise.”
In the end, we need both facts and skills regardless of how easy it is to look up the facts. You can’t Google what it is you ought to be looking up.
