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

Amusing Ourselves to Death is a groundbreaking polemic about the corrosive effects of television on our politics and public discourse, written by Neil Postman in 1985.

This book has become even more relevant today as our world increasingly resembles Orwell's 1984.

With the addition of new electronic media such as the internet, cell phones, and DVDs, the book's warnings about the dangers of entertainment-driven politics have taken on new urgency.

Postman argues that when media and politics become forms of entertainment, we risk losing our ability to engage in critical thinking and meaningful public discourse.

This is a must-read for anyone concerned about the state of our democracy and the impact of technology on our society.
