By Neil Postman

Amusing Ourselves to Death: Public Discourse in the Age of Show Business by Neil Postman offers a thought-provoking analysis of how modern society's obsession with entertainment has significantly influenced public discourse. Published in 1985, Postman's insights remain relevant today as he explores the ways in which television and media shape our understanding of important issues. Through compelling arguments and examples, the book challenges readers to consider the impact of a culture that prioritizes spectacle over substance. A must-read for those interested in media studies, communication, and the intersection of technology and society.
