In this eloquent and persuasive book, Neil Postman examines the deep and broad effects of television culture on the manner in which we conduct our public affairs, and how "entertainment values" have corrupted the very way we think. As politics, news, religion, education, and commerce are given less and less expression in the form of the printed word, they are rapidly being reshaped to suit the requirements of television.

Identifies the symptoms but misses the diagnosis
Revisado: 04-04-23
Mr. Postman manages to identify many concerning symptoms in our society, but i believe uses poor logic to connect the reason for them to the advent of television and the decline of the written word.

Is it Arthursday yet?
Revisado: 01-11-23
I've been listening to Isaac's videos / podcast for probably close to half a decade now. I've always had a love for science but he always makes me fall in love again with both the incredible depths be dives to but also the optimism he constantly shows.

On the world called Hyperion, beyond the law of the Hegemony of Man, there waits the creature called the Shrike. There are those who worship it. There are those who fear it. And there are those who have vowed to destroy it. In the Valley of the Time Tombs, where huge, brooding structures move backward through time, the Shrike waits for them all.

I've never read anything like it.. in a good way.
Revisado: 06-11-20
When I came to the last sentence I was wondering where on earth the rest of it was. I struggled to decide whether to give it 4 or 5 stars for the story but I realized that at the end of the day, I had never read anything else like it, it deeply moved me, and I definitely want to read it again and find others like it so that sounds like a 5 star book (at least on my scale).

The Mote In God's Eye is their acknowledged masterpiece, an epic novel of mankind's first encounter with alien life that transcends the genre. No lesser an authority than Robert A. Heinlein called it "possibly the finest science fiction novel I have ever read".

Meh... I didn't hate it.
Revisado: 01-01-20
Not a bad book, but not an enjoyable book. Interesting story but not really compelling.
