Information networks straddle the world. Nothing remains concealed. But the sheer volume of information dissolves the information. We are unable to take it all in.

Summary

This quote highlights the paradoxical nature of information networks in the modern age. While these networks have connected the entire world and made information accessible to anyone, this accessibility also results in an overwhelming amount of information available, to the point where it becomes difficult for individuals to process, absorb, and retain all of it. As a consequence, despite the lack of concealment, the sheer volume of information can lead to a sort of information overload, making it challenging to truly make sense of and fully grasp all the available knowledge.
