The Social Life of Information

"The Social Life of Information" explores how information isn't just about data or facts; it's deeply connected to relationships, culture, and social contexts. It emphasizes that the value of information depends on how people share, interpret, and use it within communities and networks. The book highlights that effective communication, trust, and social interactions shape how information flows and influences decisions, emphasizing that technology alone isn't enough—understanding its social dynamics is key for meaningful use and impact.
