About this product

Product Information

A total departure from previous writing about television, this book is the first ever to advocate that the medium is not reformable. Its problems are inherent in the technology itself and are so dangerous - to personal health and sanity, to the environment, and to democratic processes - that TV ought to be eliminated forever. Weaving personal experiences through meticulous research, the author ranges widely over aspects of television that have rarely been examined and never before joined together, allowing an entirely new, frightening image to emerge. The idea that all technologies are "neutral," benign instruments that can be used well or badly, is thrown open to profound doubt. Speaking of TV reform is, in the words of the author, "as absurd as speaking of the reform of a technology such as guns."

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!

    Powerful book about manipulation via television

    Though it was written some time ago, it carries a powerful message about the use of television for control of the masses. The author is an expert in this arena and writes in a manner that is easy to follow, while remaining compelling. I highly recommend it.

    Perceptive and SHOULD change the way you think about tv

    I read this book about 18 years ago and I remember it had a very big impact on me. Mr. Mander does a great job of offering not just common sense arguments for getting rid of television but a detailed, thoughtful and objective perspective on the machine and it's influence. Sometimes it's hard to see the forest for the trees but this book really offers something uniqe to consider. An important read.

    The Title Alone Doesnt Do This Book Justice

    This book is great because it breaks down the science of television as well as the philosophy. Very detailed indeed, and it shows you the physiological effects as well as the societal and psychological. Everyone who watches television should read this book, because its contents seriously changed my life and the way I view things.

    Turn off the boob tube!

    This book confirms what I have been doing all along: trying to live a real life rather than a vicarious one. One that I choose, not one that has been sold to me. It is interesting that it was written 30+ years ago. Someone had the ability to see how damaging television would be to civilization, but it is a shame that so few knew of the book or its message when it was published.
