### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Must read for anyone who cares.
*by V***I on 6 January 2025*

Todays technology is very distracting. We have to understand how it operates and what are the dangers.In the world of media there are no boundaries and no control. No government can control the misleading information that is given to us, through social media. Although this book was written log way back, it is very relevant today.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Compelling read.
*by D***N on 13 February 2021*

Really interesting take on media culture full of ideas that don’t occur to most people. Expected something more to do with media manipulation over the population but it’s much deeper than that. It expresses how the format in which information is conveyed directly influences how our perceptions are formed (I may not have that exactly right, but this book may warrant multiple readings).Having been written in the eighties, when the main source of information was television, it may appear dated since it naturally doesn’t discuss the implications of social media, and there are chapters that could be expanded on regarding newer information technology.However, it is no less important today since the philosophic basis for what the author has to say can be easily applied to our current predicament, and you will find yourself doing so at various points in the book.Anyway it’s highly fascinating and would recommend it to virtually anyone.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Brilliant read: don't judge the book by the cover...
*by H***N on 22 December 2013*

This is a history book that explains how America descended from astonishingly high levels of literacy and intellectual interest, to its current lamentable state, reflected certainly in Britain's educational standards. It is well and succinctly written, and shows the disastrous effect that unlimited quantities of useless, unverifiable information have on people. Consider America's 19th century debating societies, the huge vocabularies of the best-selling novels, and compare this with what people prefer today... I have bought copies for friends, and the cover has put some off, for Reagan is long gone, but the text is full of insights, connections, relevant quotes and statistics. Unfortunately the process of ever more trivial, non-stop entertainment, the tidal wave of shallow distraction, is being pushed all over the world. Is it reallypromoting the Abolition of Thinking? Beware, be aware, and read this excellent book.
