Amusing Ourselves to Death Hardcover – 10 Feb. 1986

This is a timeless book containing many truths that are more relevant today than ever before. We could all learn from these insights.

This book is good for understanding how people have forgotten much of their memory skills in favor of entertainment. Pre-written language people did not have to worry about forgetting due to memories that are affected by the medium that conveys the message. Marshall McLuhan would be a good starting point, but this book stands alone and explains how people are affected by infotainment.
