"I can't think of a more prophetic, more thoughtful, more necessary - and yes, more entertaining - book about media culture." -Victor Navasky, National Book Award-winning author of
The Art of Controversy
"All I can say about Neil Postman's brilliant
Amusing Ourselves to Death is: Guilty As Charged." -Matt Groening, Creator of
The Simpsons
"As a fervent evangelist of the age of Hollywood, I publicly opposed Neil Postman's dark picture of our media-saturated future. But time has proved Postman right.

"A brilliant, powerful, and important book. This is an indictment that Postman has laid down and, so far as I can see, an irrefutable one." -Jonathan Yardley,
The Washington Post Book World
