Data Smog is a 1997 book by journalist David Shenk and published by Harper Collins . It deals with the author s idea of how the information technology revolution would shape the world at large and how the incredible amount of data available on the Internet would make it more difficult for the average individual to sift through and separate fact from fiction.
