Book Synopsis
More and more information is pumped into our media-saturated world every day, yet Americans seem to know less and less. In a society where who you are is defined by what you buy, and where we prefer to experience reality by watching it on TV, the author argues something has clearly gone wrong.

Trade Review
"Witty, acerbic, and brilliant. Halton takes on truly basic philosophical issues, but unlike the great majority of cultural critics today, he is philosophically prepared and highly competent to do so. Halton's extraordinary work is nearly unique among current writers in its relevance, incisiveness, and philosophical power." - Bruce Wilshire, Rutgers University"
