The book critiques the merging of mass and popular culture, arguing that it creates a false sense of choice driven by marketing. Chris Lehmann draws on various cultural critiques, including insights from Edward Shils and Jonathan Franzen, to challenge the notion that mass entertainment is genuinely chosen. He calls for a revival of meaningful culture that transcends market value, positioning this work as part of a modern pamphlet series aimed at provoking thought and challenging conventional beliefs about culture and elitism.
