This is my second read of the book. The primary premise of this book being Postman argues that if we don't understand television and social technologies well, they will eventually become tools of amusement and entertainment - and less and less focussed on "value".
Fascinating read. I must admit this book has always had a deep influence in my life. Being away from Facebook, Television, Twitter and the social dance for over 7 years now - I think I have internalized the being of Postman.
On a scale of 10 - I would rate it 10.
On a scale of insight I would rate it 10 on 10 again. Completely changed my way of being.
My second read was just as enjoyable as the first (which was many years ago).
Grab it. Read it. A definite must read.
