readers who have read Bozeman's "Technology Monopoly: Culture Surrender to Technology" feel that the above paragraph is familiar?
The second episode is more obvious. This episode is basically a reprint of "Brave New World", but the following paragraph is more relevant to this fable than "Brave New World": "Orwell is afraid of those who forcibly ban books. Huxley worries about losing any reason for banning books, because no one wants to read anymore; Orwell is afraid of those who deprive us of information, Huxley is worried that people are constantly changing in the ocean of information. Be impulsive and selfish; what Orwell fears is that the truth is concealed, what Huxley fears is that the truth is submerged in the boring and trivial world; what Orwell fears is that our culture becomes a controlled culture, what Huxley is worried about is Our culture has become a vulgar culture full of sensory stimulation, desire and irregular games", or Bozeman, "Entertainment to Death"!
Of course, if the moral of the first episode is summed up in a book, Le Pen's "The Mob" is famous, and the less famous but more appropriate is Ortega's "The Rebellion of the Masses."
