Description

Description

In this book, Postman describes in an easily understandable way the effects of the postmodern society on individual consciousness, moral values, and the disintegration of contemporary Western culture.

He also examines a series of problems related to the rapid alienation of people, skillfully analyzes the issues that concern modern society, and shows us how we have forgotten the values, ideas, and visions of our past.

Postman provides us with a vivid picture of the hysteria and the confused values of postmodernity. He illustrates how to restore the balance between mind and machine through an eloquent and dazzling narrative of the achievements of the Enlightenment.

This book serves as a powerful antidote to the technological mania of our time and challenges us to consider whether the thinkers of the Enlightenment can be better guides for us in the twenty-first century than Bill Gates, Alvin Toffler, and Nicholas Negroponte.
