4. Conclusion

This book provides a new framework for understanding the human information condition within the human condition. HIB is a social science that is continuing to adapt its framework with the evolving human information condition. There is a need to further develop a more overarching understanding of HIB within an interdisciplinary environment. This book contributes to the process of widening the HIB perspective so that it includes various diverse approaches within the broader framework of social science theories and models. In line with evolutionary psychology, we place information at the center of human adaptation. This is a worthy start.
