Any recommendations for something like “Amusing Ourselves to Death” but written after the internet became mainstream?
Something recently had me thinking about the book “Amusing Ourselves to Death” that made me want to give it a re-read, and as relevant as the main ideas still are for today, I wondered if there is a more recent book that is just as well received on the topic of society’s addiction to amusement.
It’s a bit different but provides more support for the core ideas, for sure. More about our physical, neurological reactions to digital media than about the philosophical and historical aspects. I read it a few years back and enjoyed it quite a bit.
