Frankly I enjoyed that for a change. I think he writes accessibly and i agree with him in his views; he summarises big arguments in quite a palettable way and you will read throuh nodding agreement rather than saying 'Wow! That's a new idea.'<BR/>However he did say some stuf about reality tv I had not considered and really want to think about. i a hoing to blog about this soon, but basically he talked about how we watch players in reality tv trying to discern the rules. Rather than is as assumed the audience does not watch in order t enjoy people being humiliated; rather we are intersted in seeing how they negotiate through a maze of unknown rules in a similar way to players of computer games. So yeah, I like this book so far!!Joolzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07764771025537899267noreply@blogger.com
