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.
