Publisher's Notes
First Line: "The day before I began writing this book, I heard on the radio that somewhere between thirty-five percent and sixty-two percent of Americans believe that aliens have landed on Earth."

Industry Reviews
"Time and time again, [Postman] risks our displeasure, forcing us to see ourselves in the clear light of reason. With his newest book...there's something both refreshing and old-fashioned in Postman's desire to make things better....If not new...it's still a persuasive and...timely argument. In an ideal world, [this book] would be required reading for the nation's incoming freshman class."
