Since then Daniel J. Boorstin's prophetic vision of an America inundated by its own illusions has become an essential resource for any listeners who wants to distinguish the manifold deceptions of our culture from its few enduring truths.

Although many may argue that certain of these were in fact acts of oppression, the book contributes an informative perspective and an engrossing narrative.
