Title: Utter Rubbish
Review: This book is utter rubbish. It is carelessy written, its arguments are logically shaky to say the least, and it contains glaring factual errors.I was all the more disappointed because I had previously read Postman's excellent book "Amusing Ourselves to Death". Furthermore, Postman's topic in "Technopoly" is a serious one and deserves a serious and lucid treatment which, alas, it does not get here.As I read this book I became more and more exasperated by its shoddy thinking, but the "last straw" which made me bang the book shut in disgust was Postman's statement that a Turing Machine is a computer which can pass a Turing Test.
Is the review positive or negative?
