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

3.0

Reading nonfiction that was written the year you were born is wild. He gets some things spot on, but also is off on a lot (like how the Internet would affect public discourse). It's pretty short- I listened via Hoopla, and he makes good points about how the medium and mode of public discourse has changed over the centuries. And it's right about politics becoming entertainment. Heck, even driving, with large touch screens and such, is entertainment.
