We now have access to more knowledge than ever, though anxiety about
being overwhelmed is nothing new: Seneca and the Book of Ecclesiastes
both fretted there were too many books being produced. But the
abundance we face now is different by nature. It not only is abundant,
it spills out of epistemological containers.
