Amanda Montell's new book on surviving the information overload

Every generation has its own brand of crisis. As far as writer, linguist, and podcaster Amanda Montell is concerned, celebrity worship, conspiracy theories and a tad of mysticism is a crisis. She says our shared grasp of reality is slipping. She says the rise in irrationality is a response to information overload in the digital age. She offers a message of hope that we can regain our ability to reason in her new book, The Age of Magical Overthinking: Notes on Modern Irrationality.
