Book Synopsis
The information age came with the promise of transparency greater than anything witnessed heretofore by humanity. Of course, transparency is the essence of foresight and knowledge. The hope was for a greater accountability that would follow increased transparency, compelling policy makers to depend on knowledge and foresight rather than disinformation and hidden agendas. Recent events of the new millennium indicate that the increase has been in opacity and disinformation. The information age, often dubbed as the knowledge era'', has become the antithesis of knowledge, however; even its most ardent proponents admit that. Despite globalisation, the information age has failed to generate knowledge-based decision-making tools.
