Beschreibung

Pulitzer prizewinner Chris Hedges charts the dramatic and disturbing rise of a post-literate society that craves fantasy, ecstasy and illusion.Chris Hedges argues that we now live in two societies: One, the minority, functions in a print-based, literate world, that can cope with complexity and can separate illusion from truth. The other, a growing majority, is retreating from a reality-based world into one of false certainty and magic. In this other society, serious film and theatre, as well as newspapers and books, are being pushed to the margins. In the tradition of Christopher Laschs The Culture of Narcissism and Neil Postmans Amusing Ourselves to Death, Hedges navigates this culture attending WWF contests as well as Ivy League graduation ceremonies exposing an age of terrifying decline and heightened self-delusion.From the Hardcover edition.
