"Persuasive... interesting and unusual." - Kirkus Reviews 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.

Praise for the work of Jerry Mander "Lively, provocative." - Publishers Weekly "A skilled writer." - Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
