"What Orwell feared were those who would ban books. What Huxley feared was that there would be no reason to ban a book, for there would be no one who wanted to read one. Orwell feared those who would deprive us of information. Huxley feared those who would give us so much that we would be reduced to passivity and egoism."

"This book is about the possibility that Huxley, not Orwell, was right."

What a start👌

So far the author has put forth some compelling arguments to suggest the inferiority of television as a medium for rational public discourse.
But it feels too preachy and wasn't really subtle with it's point.
