“The mass media are now so exhausting and all-pervading, one feels so hounded around the clock by information so pressing, insidious and reiterative, that one barely has time to reflect.”

“(…) readers no longer believed in those intrusive narrators who stood between them and the story they were telling.”

Mario Vargas Llosa, writer



“The Internet has been the most fundamental change during my lifetime and for hundreds of years. Someone the other day said it was the biggest thing since the invention of writing.”

Rupert Murdoch, principal stakeholder in News Corporation



“The great revolutionary crisis of the 21st century is that of communications.”

M.Á. Basteiner, correspondent for El País



“There are many channels, like the Internet or television, etc. But that should not mislead us. You know what they say. In the event of floods, the first thing people lack is drinking water.”

Roberto Saviano, writer and author of Gomorra




“Unlike the golden circle in which culture upheld its special bastion, today’s thousand-screen plain, the equivocal horizontality of the social wilderness or the blinding (financial, lending) sandstorm which composes the world’s new personality.”

Vicente Verdú, Sociologist and author of El capitalismo funeral


“Knowledge grows exponentially. Our mental capacity and our hours of wakefulness do not.” Steven Pinker, psychologist and writer,

Harvard University



“It’s not information overload, it’s filter failure.”

Clay Shirky, author of Here comes everybody




“The present flies at the speed of echo. It builds up, like treasure or among garbage. That sensation of vertigo should be identical for anyone seeking points of reference and balance in the violent carrousel of the immediate.” Eliseo Alberto, writer and

author of Informe contra mí mismo


“I took a speed-reading course and read ‘War and Peace’ in twenty minutes. It involves Russia.”

Woody Allen, film director

David Plouffe, Obama 2008 Campaign Manager




“A financial crisis originates in international markets and in large foreign corporations, but it ends up finding its way into our homes and into every household’s real economy. That’s why we need to be more and more aware each day of the context. And of the text (be that an image, or an audio file, or a bit) which describes or recreates it.”

Ángel Gabilondo, Spanish minister


“Storytelling is fundamental to all human cultures. Our shared stories create a connection to others that builds a sense of belonging to a particular community.”

Daniel Siegel, psychiatrist



“Information may be unlimited, but not quality journalism. And that’s where this is relevant, more than 10, 15 or 75 years ago.”

David Remnick, director of The NewYorker



“Journalism is a high-risk profession. The biggest risk being that of starving to death.”

Ramón Muñoz, journalist




“Information is also in crisis, but rather a crisis of growth, which expands the new media without sacrificing their forebears. (…) I believe things will eventually even out, in peaceful coexistence, emphasising values and eliminating defects, albeit with the possibility, human when all is said and done, of giving rise to new defects alongside those new values.”

Carlos Fuentes, writer



“Half a century ago, when the Soviets beat us into space with the launch of a satellite called Sputnik, we had no idea how we’d beat them to the moon.

Barack Obama, United States President.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR



Key skills for exerting influence on the new environment of real-time, person-to-person domino communication. The demise of mass communications and the triumph of person-to-person communication technologies have given rise to a flood of information which is growing at a dizzying pace and fragmenting public opinion. Communication today means propagation. Irrational spirals, chain rumours and

impulsive forecasts end up undermining the confidence of clients, experts, opinion leaders and the mass media. The penguin strategy reveals the key points of person-to-person communication. When you’ve read it, you’ll be able to influence how others perceive your messages and, more importantly, how they pass on those messages to their network of trusted persons.”
