Matteo Eden personal response to Brave new World & Amusing ourselves to death PR#3

The way I see it in “Brave New World” and “Amusing Ourselves to Death” shows us how society can be too focused on entertainment and pleasure and not enough on serious thinking. Both books warn about the dangers of living in a world where pleasure and entertainment are more important than individuality and critical thought. In today’s world, phones and computers are constant distractions. We should be more mindful of how much time we spend on mindless entertainment and focus on critical thinking to navigate our modern world.

These books relate to each other because they both talk about how we waste our time on little things that barely affect us. Both books also talk about how we let the media control the way we act and who we are. In both books, I noticed that Neil Postman and Aldous Huxley have similar writing styles. In conclusion, I believe that both Brave new World and Amusing ourselves to death share a connection.
