A thoughtful review of what appears to be a very thoughtful book...

the u.k.'s observer reviews a book entitled "Mediated: How the Media Shapes Your World and the Way You Live in It," billed as nothing less than a way "to think afresh about who you are and how you came to believe what you believe..."

Almost everything, you see, comes to us through some media prism, which, in turn, colours not just our view of this life, but our own self-definition. We are products of immense, often inchoate, media indoctrination.

Moreover, the very pattern of life we take for granted, our normality, is hectic, digital and new, quite different in kind from that of even recent generations.
