Originally te pibliye nan 1985, tè Neil Postman te kraze polemik sou efè korozivite nan televizyon sou politik nou an ak diskou piblik ki te konsidere kòm yon liv ven-premye syèk pibliye nan ventyèm syèk la. Koulye a, ak televizyon ansanm pa pi plis sofistike medya elektwonik - soti nan entènèt la nan telefòn selilè DVD - li te pran sou menm pi gwo siyifikasyon. Amizan Ourselves to Death se yon gade pwofetik nan sa k ap pase lè politik, jounalis, edikasyon, ak menm relijyon vin sijè a demand yo nan amizman. Li se tou yon plan pou reprann kontwòl nan medya nou yo, pou yo ka sèvi objektif ki pi wo nou an.

Originally published in 1985, Neil Postman’s ground breaking polemic about the corrosive effects of television on our politics and public discourse has been hailed as a twenty-first-century book published in the twentieth century. Now, with television joined by more sophisticated electronic media—from the Internet to cell phones to DVDs—it has taken on even greater significance. 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.
