Neil Postman was big in the early 90ies post Internet.
This was a great book too:
Amusing Ourselves to Death: Public Discourse in the Age of Show Business
Of course now everything is a lot worse with the social media and unhinged running forums.
Running to the Edge. Matthew Futterman. Everything you need to know about Bob Larsen
Anybody recommend Shoe Dog yet?
I won't pimp my latest book, but here's a fine one: "We Keep the Dead Close," by Becky Cooper.
https://www.amazon.com/We-Keep-Dead-Close-Harvard-ebook/dp/B085C6N1PB/
It's about a 1969 murder at Harvard, and what happened over the next half-century until it was eventually solved in 2018.
There's a LetsRun connection in that the murder (and my involvement in it) was part of a thread back in December, 2011.

"Narcissis and Goldmund" by Hermann Hesse. It's a lot easier read than you would expect.
