For an excellent, prescient, hilarious, and terrifying book on this topic, I highly recommend "Amusing Ourselves to Death" by Neil Postman.

OP here -- excellent suggestion, I've been heavily influenced by this book and would also recommend Postman's "Technopoly"
Thank you for writing this, and making it available online!
When researching+writing this, did you find it useful to look through McLuhan's "Medium is the Message" lens? If so, what are the "message" implications of this ouroboric/circular/whirlpool medium?
