Poor quality paper and small font makes this edition difficult to read

Was really looking forward to reading this book but the paper is such poor quality and the font so small that I’m finding it difficult to actually read.

A 1985 book that predicted 2026 perfectly

A masterpiece of cultural observation This book will change the way you look at your phone and your screen. Postman’s writing is witty, accessible, and devastatingly logical. He warns us that we are "amusing ourselves to death," trading deep understanding for constant stimulation. It’s a short read, but its impact will stay with you for years. Truly a life-altering book.
