Honestly, I was not prepared to be so interested in this book. I thought it would be far too dry and irrelevant to me, but Postman talks about the differences between a typographical and a visual society, how it changes the context or even the necessity of context for information, and how we do or don't benefit from such readily available information. It's fascinating and slightly terrifying.
