About this listen
Nowadays, the world is full of people trying to tell us things. So much so that we have taught our brains not to pay much attention. After all, click the mouse, tap the screen, flick the channel and it’s on to the next thing. But Dave Gorman thinks it’s time to have a closer look, to find out how much nonsense we tacitly accept.
Suspicious adverts, baffling newspaper headlines, fake twitter, endless cat videos, insane TV shows where the presenters ask the same questions over and over…
Can we even hear ourselves think over the rising din? Or is there just too much information?
Read by Dave Gorman himself.

Data overloadAny additional comments?
Gorman's storytelling style of stand-up comedy translates well into audiobooks. He makes lots of thought-provoking points about the sheer scale of data we are fed, how it is manipulated and how we are manipulated by it, and how little quality information it contains.I have always found the author's easy-going style enjoyable, and this is no exception. Thoroughly enjoyed this title.
Entertaining polemic from a self-confessed luddite

I don't know how many times I chuckled when thinking, "yeah, I wondered that too".
DG is a master of stating the bleedin' obvious, even though it may not have been so obvious at the time.
A breath of fresh quirky air

The short independent chapters make it really accessible and easy to dip in and out of.
Be careful where you listen, as some parts made me break out in a broad smile and others made me chuckle!
Another triumph! Very funny observational humour
