Synopsis of Divertim-nos fins a morir

«Divertim-nos fins a morir» is Neil Postman's media criticism essay, published by Llibres de l'Index in paperback (220 pages, in Catalan).

Neil Postman argues that television has reshaped public discourse according to the logic of spectacle: politics, education, journalism, science and religion become entertainment, and amusement replaces reasoned debate. With Huxley as a reference, he warns of a society that has stopped thinking to give itself over to laughter.

Catalan translation by Betty Alsina Keith. The first edition was published in 1990 within the Fora de col·lecció collection.

Reference work for readers interested in cultural criticism, philosophy of technology and sociology of communication.
