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

5.0

A very important and insightful book, which I would recomend to anyone with a passing interest in media and their influence on our thinking and our culture. Contrary to what some believe, it is still very relevant today, because even more so than during the hayday of television, many societies today are dominated by media meant for entertainment and the epistemology underlying them. It is extremely readable and easy to understand. My only complaint is that Postman sometimes lapses into superfluous repetitions of certain points and ideas.
