31. Information Overglut -- Have you ever read "Shibumi"?
There's a super computer called Fat Boy & it has all the data . . . ALL OF IT! The problem is, there are very few humans who have the talent to query Fat Boy with finesse. They either end up with a deluge of info, or not the info they want. The character Llewellyn has that knack, but even he sometimes fails. It was a fascinating little sub-plot of a very good book.
