The Information Universe is expanding in a similar way to the physical universe. Despite information being so pervasive it is one of the most important and yet least understood phenomena of our times. This foundational book by Guus Pijpers is an interesting, unconventional book that contributes to better understanding the information phenomena and, more importantly, provides insights on how better to manage it.

In summary, it is an ambitious work. The book is easy to read and it can work as an inspiration both, for those who perceive information overload in their daily life and for a student or a researcher who wants an overview and an introduction to the field.
