Amusing Ourselves to Death

It took me five months to finish it. This book needed an editor to cut it down to 60 pages. Too long and not entertaining except for chapter 7, “Now... This.”

The before-television part could've been summarized in 20 pages at most. The whole typography chapter could've been mentioned in a half-line.

The author spent a lot of time analyzing sub-topics; it took him half the book to get into the main topic, and then he wasted it on giving many examples to support his points when just one or two examples would've been sufficient.
