Here’s a list of all the books mentioned in this episode, complete with an Amazon buy link and quotes from the episode.
Amusing Ourselves to Death
Buy on Amazon"If you want to be depressed about our ability to succumb to that, I think of a book from maybe thirty years ago by Neil Postman called Amusing Ourselves to Death, which wasn't about binge-watching because it didn't exist, but it was about an engagement with media or entertainment."
Anarchy, State, and Utopia
Buy on Amazon"Finally, Angela describes the 'philosophical problem' of being plugged into a pleasure machine; there are several canonical references that fit this description, but Angela was likely thinking of the thought experiment described by American philosopher Robert Nozick in his 1974 book Anarchy, State, and Utopia."
