Pressestimmen
"'This belongs on everyone's bookshelf. With a big spotlight pointing at it.' Praise for Charlie Brooker's Screen Burn, Julie Burchill"
Kurzbeschreibung
Polite, pensive, mature, reserved ...Charlie Brooker is none of these things and less. Rude, unhinged, outrageous, and above all funny, "Dawn of the Dumb" is essential reading for anyone with a brain and a spinal cord. And hands for turning the pages. Picking up where his hilarious "Screen Burn" left off, "Dawn of the Dumb" collects the best of Charlie Brooker's recent TV writing, together with uproarious spleen-venting diatribes on a range of non-televisual subjects - tackling everything from David Cameron to human hair.

... the first one being the "Transmetropolitan" comic series cynic' journalist/hero, the second being a German comedian feared and loved for his witty comments on German TV rubbish.
Too obscure? That's exactly my problem with Brooker's book: Not coming from the UK, I haven't heard of half of the TV shows he refers to, and hardly ever bothered to watch the (usually: continental version of the) other half. But brainless idiocy is a world-wide phenomenon - the mindless TV formats and media goons are indeed so generic that it doesn't really matter.
Throughout most of the book, the author is busy shouting back at TV shows that would insult a six-year-old's intelligence and sense of taste. Funny, witty, and aimed at a deserving target - but tiring after some time. It's when he focusses on the retarded stuff of real life this book really gets interesting: Politics. 9/11 conspiracy nuts. Religion, as in "notoriously offended feelings" and violent fundamentalism.
Brookers unrestrained use of sarcasm is simply hilarious, even if his targets are quite often not worth the effort. If you like watching dumbness being bludgeoned in all its forms, you will probably find this book as refreshing as I did.

Charlie Brooker is a genius of bitterness
31. Juli 2010
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
Anyone who's a fan of Charlie Brooker's show Screenwipe should be familiar with his visual style and how he talks to the camera. As it turns out, it's not dissimilar to his writing style.
As in, it's absolutely brilliant.
Brooker attacks about every facet of British and some American television from Celebrity Big Brother (featuring no celebrities) to the occasional house-destroying special on Eastenders.
Brooker's rabid frothing is dotted with amazing and addicting humor. As someone who's a terrible reader (I read, maybe, a book or two a year) I read a few pages a night and have a hard time putting it down.
As for the book itself, rather than being a story or autobiography, it's a collection of Brooker's articles written for The Guardian. Though,it should be known that Brooker uses a lot of hyperbole, so some of his words must be taken with a grain of salt, such as when he expresses an intense dislike for children. Just remember MST3K mantra, or a variant thereof, and you'll be good to go.

It is good

I love reading Charlie Brooker's column and I enjoyed this book too. I did not finish the book yet so I will not write a long review. But it is Charlie Brooker, you can't go wrong.
