description: In this brilliant, prophetic book, Frank Zingrone shows how mass media, and all electronic technology, simplify our ability to represent experience. Reality is becoming for us entertainingly mediated, with nature itself becoming a filmic simulation of reality with media access from our living rooms. We watch gourmet cooks prepare complex meals on TV while increasing our consumption of convenience foods. We become increasingly sedentary while accessing escalating amounts of mass sport.
