I just read the first chapter of this book, and I must say it strikes my interest. Neil Postman draws parallels between human dependency on technology and the constantly changing meaning of our culture that I never even THOUGHT of before. If you're interested, look it up. I plan on buying the book myself if I ever find it (I only got a copy of the first chapter from my Scientific Writing Professor).

definatly sounds interesting. Though I have the strangest feeling I'd have to have a dictionary in hand with a book like that.

Not so. I found that I could understand it fairly well in spite of the topic.
