# 188, More truth & less fiction

188. Last July Mario Vargas Llosa published via El País newspaper the article titled "More Information, Less Knowledge". Therein Mario builds upon the book of researcher Nicholas Carr "The Shallows: What the Internet is Doing to Our Brains", stressing more on the apparent disadvantages of the Internet as it provides an obstacle to the potential readers of good books while distracting them into more superficial information gathering based on comfortable instruments like a page browser.
However, the 2010 Nobel laureate in literature seems not wanting to perceive yet that by God's provision we are already entering a time frame where thanks to the Internet and subsequent means like Google and Facebook literate humans will discard easily the consumption of fiction and will become hungry to reach for more truth which finally will become handily available, therefore bringing down myths and unmasking those entities which constructed their ungodly power just by producing lies and inciting fear about the unknown.
