The Simpsons, Desperate Housewives, The Apprentice, The Sopranos, Grand Theft Auto: We’re constantly being told that popular culture is just mindless entertainment. But, as Steven Johnson shows, it’s actually making us more intelligent.
Here he puts forward a radical alternative to the endless complaints about reality TV, throwaway movies and violent video games.
