About the book
Amusing Ourselves to Death is a prophetic look at what happens when politics, journalism, education, and even religion become subject to the demands of entertainment. It is also a blueprint for regaining control of our media, so that they can serve our highest goals.
First sentence: At different times in our history, different cities have been the focal point of a radiating American spirit.
