Amusing Ourselves to Death: Public Discourse in the Age of Show Business by Neil Postman
informative
reflective
medium-paced
3.5
Extremely readable and relevant. I'm always interested in how media shape messages especially with the shitshow social media has been lately and I found the arguments very compelling. Unfortunately in my experience Postman was right that education about being media conscious can only go so far; I think we all know the dangers of digital media but for most of us that doesn't change our actions too much. I also liked how Huxley was brought in.
