Pulitzer prize–winner Chris Hedges charts the dramatic and disturbing rise of a post-literate society that craves fantasy, ecstasy and illusion. Chris Hedges argues that we now live in two societies: One, the minority, functions in a print-based, literate world, that can cope with complexity and can separate illusion from truth. The other, a growing majority, is retreating from a reality-based world into one of false certainty and magic. In this “other society,” serious film and theatre, as well as newspapers and books, are being pushed to the margins. In the tradition of Christopher Lasch’s The Culture of Narcissism and Neil Postman’s Amusing Ourselves to Death, Hedges navigates this culture — attending WWF contests as well as Ivy League graduation ceremonies — exposing an age of terrifying decline and heightened self-delusion.

EXPOSED: - Educational malpractice on a scale that can only stagger the imagination and shock the American people; - How the child is made completely dependent-right through to junior high school-on controlled-vocabulary books. Who benefits from this; - How three-quarters of the juvenile offenders in New York City are retarded in reading; - How the Army teaches young men how to read - after the public schools call them hopeless; - How the sight-vocabulary establishment got its stranglehold on the teaching profession. How it keeps control; - The lengths to which whole-word advocates go to avoid mentioning the letters of the alphabet; - Why left-handed children are particularly harmed by the whole word method; - Why children taught by the whole-word method don't realize they should read from left to right; - The "Johnny" Rudolf Flesch wrote about: now he's an adult. And he still can't read; - Walter Cronkite warns of the dangers of a TV audience that is illiterate; - Why the educational establishment fights anyone who pushes reform; - Why some children develop a hatred for school and disrespect their teachers
