Are our souls ruined by consuming media and using technology?

Well, yes, I think the loss of identity through homogenization is a big theme of the book. Whether you buy into that tautology is another thing but that's certainly a central aspect of the book and something that in Gaiman's work is a matter of course as much as gravity pulling things down - that something essential is lost in the move from the old to the new.
