Summary
Pulitzer Prize-winning author Walt Hickey explores exactly how this thing we blithely call "entertainment" has such a tremendous effect on us. Through compelling reporting and research and the creation of dozens and dozens of colorful data visuals, Hickey shows how something like a movie or TV show not only has a direct physical effect on the viewer--how the chemistry of our breath changes with a movie's ups and downs, or a scary scene can be literally bloodcurdling--but also has a measurable impact on society, politics, the economy, and even the future
