I need to circle back and re-read his "Technopoly: The Surrender of Culture to Technology".

I read it when it came out in 1992, but frankly don't remember much from it.

This is from the Wikipedia entry:

"Postman considers technopoly to be the most recent of three kinds of cultures distinguished by shifts in their attitude towards technology – tool-using cultures, technocracies, and technopolies. Each, he says, is produced by the emergence of new technologies that "compete with old ones…mostly for dominance of their worldviews".
