Like all cults, this one also has the intention of enlisting mindless
allegiance and acquiescence. People who have no clear idea of what
they mean by information or why they should want so much of it are
nonetheless prepared to believe that we live in an Information Age,
which makes every computer around us what the relics of the True Cross
were in the Age of Faith: emblems of salvation.
-- Theodore Roszak The Cult of Information 1986.
