About This Book
In this New York Times bestseller, Pulitzer Prizewinning journalist
Chris Hedges has written a shattering meditation on American obsession
with celebrity and the epidemic of illiteracy that threatens our
cultural integrity. Reporting on such phenomena as professional
wrestling, the pornographic film industry, and unchecked casino
capitalism, Hedges exposes the mechanisms used to divert us from
confronting the economic, political, and moral collapse around us.
Empire of Illusion shows us how illiteracy and the embrace of fantasy
have impoverished our working class, allowed for the continuance of
destructive public policy, and ushered in cultural bankruptcy.
