It is written from a teenager who played lots of video games perspective, which I found to be very interesting. It basically talks about Popular Culture today and how the Media helps shape our minds and improve our IQ, unlike in the 70's and 80's.
What makes the book persuasive is the fact that Johnson uses a lot of stats from studies that show that todays Media is much more complex and IQ has actually gone up in the past several generations due to it's complexity.
I really enjoyed the book because it is a definite contrast from what many critics say about the Media today, it shines a more positive light instead of such a critical view.
Although the book included a lot of data and was very informative, it was fun and an easy read. I enjoyed it and would definitely recommend it to the class, at least to get a different perspective of Media today.
