Reviews
"Patient, humane . . . [Postman] may well be ahead of his time." --San Francisco Examiner "[Postman's] most ambitious attempt yet to help America survive the future." --The New York Observer "[A] critique of the claims made on behalf of technology, along with a defense of old-fashioned liberal humanism."--The New York Times Book Review "A refreshing antidote to the current mania for starry-eyed futurism. . . . Reminds us that Goethe and Voltaire . . . might be better guides into the twenty-first century than Bill Gates or Alvin Toffler." --Utne Reader From the Trade Paperback edition., "Patient, humane . . .

Building a Bridge To the Eighteenth Century - Thoughts
In Building a Bridge to the Eighteenth Century, Neil Postman informs while he entertains with some of the best prose I have ever read. If you want to add to your understanding of why America is unique and if you want to hone your critical thinking skills, or if you are simply an "allusion hunter", you cannot do better than a Postman book and this one is a jewel.
