Everything is Miscellaneous

Everything Is Miscellaneous: The Power of the New Digital Disorder is a book by David Weinberger published in 2007 . The book's central premise is that there is no universally acceptable way of classifying information. Starting with the story of the Dewey Decimal Classification, Weinberger demonstrates that all attempts to classify inherently reflect the biases of the person defining the classification system.
