Minima Moralia of the Information Society

"Information alone does not illuminate the world. It can even obscure it. Beyond a certain point, information is no longer informative but deformative. This critical point has long been surpassed. The rapidly increasing informational entropy, that is, the informational chaos, plunges us into a post-factual society. The distinction between true and false is leveled. Information now circulates without any reference to reality in a hyperreal space. The world is becoming increasingly incomprehensible, cloudier, and more ghostly."
