Social critic Neil Postman has veered away from media and has shifted the focus back onto education.

Postman asserts that education without a myth or narrative to guide and motivate the student, is education without a purpose.

As an education theorist and writer, Postman is closely associated with other critics and commentators including John Holt, Ivan Illich, Paul Goodman, George Dennison, Jonathan Kozol, Herbert Kohl, James Herndon, Charles E. Silberman, John Taylor Gatto, and others.

In the introduction to his book Postman said that the contemporary world was better reflected by Aldous Huxley's Brave New World, whose public was oppressed by their addiction to amusement, than by Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four, where they were oppressed by state control.

Postman distinguishes the Orwellian vision of the future, in which totalitarian governments seize individual rights, from that offered by Aldous Huxley in Brave New World, where people medicate themselves into bliss, thereby voluntarily sacrificing their rights.

Postman gives a striking example: The first fifteen U. S. presidents could probably have walked down the street without being recognized by the average citizen, yet all these men would have been quickly known by their written words.
