I hope you also introduce your child to Neil Postman’s “Amusing Ourselves to Death.” He has an incredibly insightful take on the contrast between the future as predicted in 1984 and in Brave New World.

It helps explain why the media - and particularly television - are so warped.

Re: Neil Postman’s “Amusing Ourselves to Death.”

Haven’t read it, sounds like a good read! Next on my list right after I finish “Do the Right Thing” by Mike Huckabee.
