Amusing Ourselves to Death by Neil Postman Originally published in 1985, Neil PostmanââŹâ˘s groundbreaking polemic about the corrosive effects of television on our politics and public discourse has been hailed as a twenty-first-century book published in the twentieth century. Now, with television joined by more sophisticated electronic mediaââŹâfrom the Internet to cell phones to DVDsââŹâit has taken on even greater significance. Amusing Ourselves to Death is a prophetic look at what happens when politics, journalism, education, and even religion become subject to the demands ofĂ entertainment. It is also a blueprint for regaining controlof our media, so that they can serve our highest goals.
