Quote #10
"That's what the New World is. Informayshun, all the time, never stopping, whether you want it or not. The Spackle knew it, evolved to live with it, but we weren't equipped for it. Not even close. And too much informayshun can drive a man mad. Too much informayshun becomes just Noise. And it never, never stops." (36.52)
Here, the Noise is described as "informayshun"—so having Noise is like living in a state of constant information overload. No wonder people in the New World are driven a little crazy, and no wonder each community we encounter is pretty interested in establishing order.
