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.”

Shipping & Packaging
Whenever possible, we will combine items from your order into a single shipment. However, due to variations in size, weight, or availability, some items may need to be shipped separately and charged accordingly. Backordered items will be dispatched as they become available, and their shipping charges will be added to the invoice at the time of dispatch. You will receive an email notification with a link to complete the payment using your preferred method. To avoid delays, if we do not receive a response within 24hrs, the shipping charge for backordered items will be added to your original invoice and charged to the payment method provided. If this is unsuitable, please contact us in advance to arrange an alternative payment option.
We work with trusted courier partners offering competitive rates, ensuring most major city deliveries are completed within 24-36hours.
