Summary: There Are None So Blind
Comment: I got this initially to assist in my study of celebrity life (ala movie actors and rock stars), and I discovered a much more interesting subject in the process. The effects of the media on our culture, society, morals, ethics and most importantly the voting process, and how the mass media has served not to make a better informed public but one drowning in information we can not possibly sort through before new information is again introduced. Covering the famous from Charlie Chaplin and Ronald Reagan, Schickel explores all of the reasons for the rise and fall of celebrities, and the relationship between those who have and those who believe they have not. In the end, it is simply that the false intimacy that has been created prevents real intimacy, and that in this world of 900 channels we are losing our humanity and replacing it with long distance rightness.
