The Disappearance of Childhood — Media, Secrecy, and Development (Audio)
Welcome to Crisis in Perception, where we examine the systems shaping our world — one book at a time.
This episode explores The Disappearance of Childhood by Neil Postman as a systems-level examination of how media technologies reshape development, authority, and age-based roles.
