Wurman demonstrates the power inherent in understanding and the notion that understanding is power.
Understanding is a concept that addresses a special moment in history.
The advent of the millennium has resulted in considerable and excellent media analysis focused on historical milestones and prognostications. This book however looks at now the beginning of what is a New Year, a new president, a new decade, a new century, a new millennium, and a new field of human endeavor. So by definition it is already out of date. However, it clearly presents the big picture that makes the complex clear and reveals a number of issues about the ownership of information.
