Quite serendipitously, I am rereading “Amusing.” Poston was a prophet ahead of his time.

Absolutely love Postman, and think the foreword quoted speaks to the public's inability to recognize that "a boot stamping on a human face" isn't the only form of oppression.
That said, 2020 sometimes feels like a horror-mashup of 1984, Brave New World, *and* Fahrenheit 451.
