V rozhovoru se kromě jiného dozvíte:Co je takzvaný „naivní pohled na informace“. Proč je přijmout pravdu často náročné i bolestivé a co dělat, když chcete, aby zvítězila. Že je často řád důležitější než pravda. Proč má mnoho konfliktů a válek, které utvářely dějiny, ve skutečnosti původ v různých modelech informačních sítí.
