Memories of My Father Watching TV
Curtis White's new novel has as its protagonists television shows, around whom the personalities of family members are shaped. The shows have a life of their own and become the arena of shared experience. And in Curtis White's hands, they become a son's projections of what he wants for himself and his father through characters in Combat, Highway Patrol, Bonanza, and other televisions shows from the 1950s and 1960s.
Fahrenheit 451
In this classic of dystopian science fiction, censorship is so prevalent that firemen are entrusted with the task of burning books to keep the citizenry away from anything that might cause dissent. Suicides are commonplace, and people drug themselves with pills, thrills, and the meaningless programming that pours from four-wall television. Guy Montag is a fireman; he loves the act of burning, but he`s never actually stopped to consider what it is he`s burning. Nor has he ever stopped to consider whether his life contains any meaning, or happiness. Then he meets a strange girl named Clarisse, who encourages him to question everything. Inspired by Clarisse, Montag does two radical, forbidden things: he begins to read, and he begins to think. One of Bradbury`s definitive works, FAHRENHEIT 451 is an amazingly prescient book, anticipating not only social but technological trends. Bradbury described a world where people would be surrounded--bombarded, in fact--by their televisions and personal...

The Twilight of American Culture
In this study, a cultural historian argues that the United States' corporate and consumer culture encourages people to disregard art, literature, and critical thinking. He supports his argument with examples of botched education systems, the typical American's resistance to learn, and the country's obsession with TV shows and fast-food. He encourages readers to challenge their material world by turning off their televisions and pursuing the principles of enlightenment. A New York Times Notable Book for 2000.
