You Are What You Watch by Walter Hickey
Pulitzer Prize-winning author and data expert Walt Hickey explains the power of entertainment to change our biology, our beliefs, how we see ourselves, and how nations gain power.
“Pulitzer Prize winner Hickey presents a refreshing analysis of media consumption… A worthy, fun dissection of pop culture that’s full of infographics and data”—Library Journal, starred review

Hickey’s lighthearted approach will prove especially enticing for fellow data heads and devotees of pop culture.”—Booklist
“The trivia surprises and the bounty of colorful charts and graphs offer fun insight into popular culture. This is a blast.”—– Publishers Weekly
“Every page is lovingly written, reported, charted, and graphed in a way that only Walt Hickey could do.”—Nate Silver
