Review:
"Patient, humane . . . [Postman] may well be ahead of his time." --San Francisco Examiner "[Postman's] most ambitious attempt yet to help America survive the future." -- The New York Observer "[A] critique of the claims made on behalf of technology, along with a defense of old-fashioned liberal humanism."--The New York Times Book Review "A refreshing antidote to the current mania for starry-eyed futurism. . . . Reminds us that Goethe and Voltaire . . . might be better guides into the twenty-first century than Bill Gates or Alvin Toffler." --Utne Reader
