Kinda weird, because I keep seeing the same take over and over, but when I read the book that’s basically what I got from it. I didn’t dig in super long or anything—I mean, it felt pretty obvious from how he talked about TV in his world (and the driving stuff too, like the constant need for instant gratification), especially compared to how they handled books.
