<\/em><\/p>\nAs chaos erupts, alerts screech on our cell phones and torrents of conflicting-yet-urgent messages gush from media outlets. What is the magnitude of the crisis? What is its cause? And what should people do to protect themselves?<\/p>\n
The speed and direction of these details is known as the velocity of information. It overwhelms and distresses people who have not built a network of trustworthy sources to traverse disorder.<\/p>\n
\u201c\u2019The Velocity of Information\u2019 offers understanding to manage chaos and our complex reactions to crisis situations influenced by bias and propaganda,\u201d explains Dr. Perrodin. \u201cRecognizing indicators to judge the severity of an incident, understanding human predispositions, and joining a member check network to gauge real-time observations from people in your network provide direction to respond to the reality of a situation with impartiality, thus improving outcomes.\u201d<\/p>\n
This book also provides a novel framework, incorporating photos and custom figures, for discerning chaos based on duration, location, and complexity. Understanding how human cognitive limitations affect individual and group human behavior during different stages of chaos allows readers to use the tools in this book to avoid hysteria and optimize responses to emergency events.<\/p>\n
Utilizing several in-depth personal interviews and explorations of historical and contemporary events, \u201cThe Velocity of Information\u201d provides a functional and realistic roadmap with specific, actionable guidance on how to navigate chaos.<\/p>\n
James David Dickson, reporter, The Detroit News, says, \u201cDavid P. Perrodin\u2019s \u2018Velocity of Information\u2019 will empower its readers. Drawing on current events, history, interviews, and scholarship, Velocity of Information is an education in the way people react and adapt to change in this fast-spinning world. Never has it been more important to sift facts and stories for truth and meaning. The path forward is lit by Dr. Perrodin\u2019s assemblage of homesteaders and Special Forces fighters, of crab boaters, jewel thieves and Nail Men. There are teachable moments on every page.\u201d<\/p>\n
