"Amusing Ourselves to Death by Neil Postman, which looks at the influence of media and entertainment on society, had a marked impact on Turner. “Information-action ratio”, how often owe act on information consumed from media, is mentioned in ‘Four Out of Five’. “I think one of the things I liked about that phrase is that you sort of know exactly what it is right away,” Turner told us."
