In this New York Times bestseller, Pulitzer Prizewinning journalist Chris Hedges has written a shattering meditation on American obsession with celebrity and the epidemic of illiteracy that threatens our cultural integrity. Reporting on such phenomena as professional wrestling, the pornographic film industry, and unchecked casino capitalism, Hedges exposes the mechanisms used to divert us from confronting the economic, political, and moral collapse around us. Empire of Illusion shows us how illiteracy and the embrace of fantasy have impoverished our working class, allowed for the continuance of destructive public policy, and ushered in cultural bankruptcy.

很好的一本书,大家都来阅读吧
评分作者实在是太moralist,很多遣词用句都非常偏颇,读完完全不让人信服。(read Chpt. 1&5 for MES, then finished the whole book)
评分作者像个偏激狂和疯子一样证明着这个国度的堕落和衰败,可结尾却暴露了他其实也是一个理想主义者,仍保留着一丝希望在内。真是讨厌又可爱。
评分很好的一本书,大家都来阅读吧
