Beschreibung
From the New York Times bestselling author of How We Got To Now and Farsighted
In this provocative, unfailingly intelligent, thoroughly researched, and surprisingly convincing big idea book, Steven Johnson draws from fields as diverse as neuroscience, economics, and media theory to argue that the pop culture we soak in every day—from Lord of the Rings to Grand Theft Auto to The Simpsons—has been growing more sophisticated with each passing year, and is actually making our minds measurably sharper. Johnson expertly dismantles conventional wisdom surrounding new media and makes a compelling argument for popular culture and its cognitive benefits.
After reading Everything Bad is Good for You, you will never regard the glow of the video game or television screen the same way again.
With a new afterword by the author.

Finally,after having to hear all throughout my youth and adolescence that tv, computer games and stuff like that are dumbing me down and I should read a book instead, here it is. A counter argument to all of that. Steven Johnson presents a fresh view on the pop culture that emerged over the last 30 years, and it's nicely written to boot. The only thing that could've been emphasized more would be scientific studies to undermine the authors arguments.
