Amusing Ourselves to Death by Neil Postman | One Minute Book Review - a podcast by Aun Abdi

💬 Does entertainment come at price?

It would be easy to say that entertainment comes at the expense of time in the present for something that could be done which is more productive. But in the wider sense, when does entertainment become a vice or barrier to how we actually see the world. 🤔

This is the question that I have been asking myself after finishing this book. 📚

The book gives an honest assesment on the impact that the television had on American society 35 years ago. But, the repercussions of its effects are still being felt today. It’s intereting when reading this book to see what impact it’s actually had on how we see truth. 📖

I would say that this book is challenging. Not only in its language but in its ideas. It’s a complex read that requires your full attention, but if you’re willing to take the leap then it’s full of ensightful arguments. 👍📚
