Why Eclectic.Info Exists
This website, eclectic.info, is a place for readers who want to understand — not just react to — the forces driving change. The name reflects its purpose: a gathering point for varied insights that connect history, technology, and human behavior. It explores how ideas, technologies, and information systems shape modern life.
What You’ll Find Here
THis is a “one-person” operation that brings together my own writing, research, and projects focused on how information shapes perception and decision-making. Its core themes include:
- How information has evolved from passive data into an active, shaping force.
- How “hinge years” in history reveal patterns that still guide the present.
- How individuals can defend their attention and think more deliberately in an age of overload.
These ideas flow through both my published books, shorter essays, and other materials on systems thinking, innovation, convergences, information trends, cognitive defense, and media literacy.
My Books
- Your Mind Is Under Attack — A guide to recognizing and resisting disinformation and manipulation in the attention economy.
- Looking Back to See Ahead — A reflection on how key moments in the past reveal the logic of tomorrow’s change.
Together they represent two aspects of the same inquiry: how to see clearly — whether through the lens of history or the fog of information.
What’s Next
I’ll continue to expand this site as both a reading room and a laboratory: essays, practical frameworks, and tools for cultivating attention and insight. If this resonates with you, subscribe to my soon-to-launch Newsletter for new essays and updates.
