Book Club post by DeliDelDel, January 3 2024

I just want to share a book that opened up my eyes to certain issues with internet media and its use called Amusing Ourselves to Death: Public Discourse in the Age of Show Business. It is non-fiction that was written by a professor named Neil Postman. What makes this book so interesting is not only the significant and relevant points made by the author, but the fact that it was written in 1985 before the majority of the media we consume now was created. Even back then, Postman addressed problems with our electronic media consumption that continue to ring true today. It may get a little boring at times, but I promise that it is a worthy read!
