Divertirsi da morire
Il discorso pubblico nell'era dello spettacolo
Book • 2024
In 'Divertirsi da morire', Neil Postman argues that contemporary society is more aligned with the dystopian vision of Aldous Huxley's 'Brave New World' rather than George Orwell's '1984'.
Postman contends that television has transformed public communication into a form of entertainment, leading to a culture where people are distracted by superficial pleasures and unable to engage in meaningful, rational discourse.
He criticizes how television presents all topics as forms of amusement, reducing the public to a state of passivity and triviality, and warns that this could lead to the demise of a culture based on rational thinking and critical engagement.
