On lunch break this afternoon, I finished Neil Postman's Amusing Ourselves to Death. Written in 1985 in response to George Orwell's 1984, Postman's book is an analysis of what television has done to our culture - specifically how it has watered down (if not eliminated) true public discourse in religion, politics, education and beyond.
If you watch any television, I think you should read this book.
