About this title: 30 years after its publication Marshall McLuhan's The Medium is the Massage remains his most entertaining, provocative, and piquant book. With every technological and social "advance" McLuhan's proclamation that "the media work us over completely" becomes more evident and plain.

"This is pretty much a 20pg article padded out to be book-length by a wonderfully engaging layout/graphic elements (no complaints here, as the form is, of course in this case, part of the content). However, this is something that I think still warrants reading today. I feel like maybe it's something that should be read and discussed in early High School, or at least by college, in a public curriculum. Mostly sets forth ideas I already shared, but it's nice to read them and think about them further in such a dynamic format."
"One of those books that can cause a paradigm shift in your world view. Or at the least be a fun read for anyone interested in sociology and technology."
