«Everything Bad is Good for You» is Steven Johnson's essay on popular culture, published by Penguin in paperback (256 pages, in English).
Steven Johnson argues that mass culture, far from dulling us, makes us smarter. He analyzes TV series, video games, and reality shows, maintaining that their plots and mechanics demand growing attention and cognitive skills. Today's popular culture would be more sophisticated and stimulating than its critics admit.
