From the Back Cover

“I believe that art — via imagination — is the necessary complement to information. I explain this by referring back to the root concepts of my two key words. Imagination, as I have already suggested is the formative inward power, independant and generative. Information, by contrast, and by original definition, is that which imparts inner form from the outside. To be informed is to receive the print of ideas or, and again I heed the etymology, impressions. Imagination creates shape; information imposes shape. The former is the energy of self, the latter of the world.”

from “The Drowning Signal: Self in the Information Age” by Sven Birkerts
