- carlosjobim 3y agoCould you explain exactly what is wrong with it? If the article stands on it's own, why shouldn't it be published if it's part of a book?
- _Algernon_ 3y agoWell for one, the article reads like a summary of Amusing Ourselves to Death by Neil Postman, a book published in 1985. This indicates that the book advertised by this article doesn't add anything original, novel or interesting to the world.
- switch007 3y agoWith a headline like that, I expect an article citing various sources and experts, not a book summary. As it stands it's mostly an opinion piece. They have a separate section for opinion and they use a different background colour (a light orange). I don't want to invest in an article then see it cut short with an advert for the rest of the meat in the book.
