About this title: This collaboration between media guru Marshall McLuhan and graphics designer Quentin Fiore is itself both a book and a cultural object.

He references Homer, Socrates, Lewis Carroll, the invention of printing, anthropology, John Cage, and Bob Dylan, while images from Pop Art, newspaper columns, and medieval manuscripts make up his "inventory of affects." THE MEDIUM IS THE MASSAGE, along with other ...

"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."
