we are living in a “postliterate world”

[samhexum]

Staff writer at The Atlantic, Rose Horowitch, argues that we are living in a “postliterate world” where fewer and fewer adults read books of any kind, and she examines whether civilization can survive this era in her August cover story titled, “The Age of Reading Is Over.” In it, Horowitch writes that society seems to have lost the desire 'to read book-length works, and with that are losing the higher-order abilities of comprehension and synthesis’ adding that Donald Trump is ‘representative’ of this era. Rose Horowitch joins Morning Joe to discuss her piece.
