We''re constantly being told that popular culture is just mindless entertainment - but, as Steven Johnson shows in Everything Bad is Good for You, it''s actually making us more intelligent.
Steven Johnson puts forward a radical alternative to the endless complaints about reality TV, throwaway movies and violent video games. He shows that mass culture - The Simpsons, Desperate Housewives, The Apprentice, The Sopranos, Grand Theft Auto - is actually more sophisticated and challenging than ever before.
When we focus on what our minds have to do to process its complex, multilayered messages, it becomes clear that it''s not dumbing us down - but smartening us up.
