I saw some reviews of his book, Amusing Ourselves to Death: Public Discourse in the Age of Show Business, on Goodreads. One by Rickeclectic was particularly interesting. In case anyone wants to take a look at the book and reviews: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/74034.Amusing_Ourselves_to_Death
To me having an oral society is natural. I read a lot, but certain things are well-communicated orally. The problem is liars and programmers have an easier time hypnotizing people with the television.
His analysis on why the printing press was so superior to all other dominant technologies is very convincing. I went on a roll and read like 7 of his books a few years back. Amusing ourselves to death is GREAT. Highly recommended.
