Amusing Ourselves to Death: Public Discourse in the Age of Show Business by Neil Postman

4.0

Appropriately thought provoking in this day and age, and obviously fascinating to read what he thought would happen in the coming years. I didn't agree with all of his points, and some have become mildly obsolete, but I appreciated the politics-as-entertainment chapter, as well the chapter on education. I also learned a great deal about media in the 70s and 80s, which is helpful to understanding where my parents' generation was coming from / why they raised my brother and me as they did.
