Abstract

In his 2005 book Ambient Findability, Peter Morville argued that what we find changes who we become. In 2012 and beyond---in an information environment of filter bubbles, contextual advertising, and friend-of-friend chains that push ordinary folks well beyond the Dunbar number---perhaps Morville is in need of some updating: what finds us changes who we become.
