Guardian Bookshop Notes:

Subtitled, "How Popular Culture Is Making Us Smarter". Popular culture is often seen as nothing more than mindless and endless entertainment, but Steven Johnson argues that it's actually making us smarter. Rather than living in an increasingly infantilised society, we are living in one with a more sophisticated and demanding mass culture than ever before.

Publisher's description:

Putting forward an alternative to the endless complaints about reality TV, throwaway movies and violent video games, this book shows that mass culture is actually more sophisticated and challenging than ever before.
