Too Much Information: Understanding What You Don't Want to Know by Cass R. Sunstein
3.0
A delightful non-fiction book that discusses whether or not to "ruin the popcorn". Sunstein asks, when is information disclosure too much or too little? Also, when is information disclosure necessary? This book explores these questions and more.
The writing itself is excellent and well thought out. The only issue I see with the writing is the level of language used. It may not appeal to a wider audience. Word choice is also above a certain level of education. Perhaps using simpler words, with simpler explanations would help it appeal to a wider audience.
Sunstein uses a number of studies, experiments, and references to bring validity to her main argument. The only issue here, is the amount of references used. It may have been better to use less references, and focus on the arguments instead.
Overall, Too Much Information was a well thought out and interesting read. I would recommend this book to anyone that enjoys a more scientific approach to a philosophical subject.
