    Amusing Ourselves to Death by Neil Postman.

    About halfway through- it’s really good so far. He makes a compelling case for how our culture has changed in many ways, often for the worse, with the introduction of television.

      Last year I read 'Amusing Ourselves' and 'Technopoly'. A very interesting thinker.

      It's a great read and fun to pair with 1984, Brave New World, and Fahrenheit 451.

      Do yourself a favour and read Informing Ourselves to Death.
