Based on Shannon's mathematical information theory (MIT) and some suggestions by Luciano Floridi regarding the challenges of the technological revolution, this article investigates the epistemic effects of redundant environments. To achieve that purpose, the concepts of information and redundancy of MIT are reviewed and then related to the literary figure of Poe’s raven. In the first instance, MIT is exposed and information is analyzed in terms of its transmissibility. Next, the information problem is reconfigured in the context of digital platform algorithms and the personalization of content is linked to redundancy. Then, the concepts of uninformative spaces and epistemically redundant spaces are proposed to account for the conditions of homogeneity generated by hyper-personalized environments. Finally, a small proposal on the measurement of redundancy is made.
