@luckygab @johnwgrund @AguirreCamiloE "Our need now is to understand the formal character of print, comic, and cartoon, both as challenging and changing the consumer-culture of film, photo, and press." — Marshall McLuhan, Understanding Media. We could add "the internet" into the mix. https://t.co/YX5pMgGxRA

Praise for this book
'He belongs to that small group of radical dreamers and thinkers who are trying to realize and explore the altered conditions of modern existence ... When the growth of post-Einsteinian mythologies is recorded, McLuhan's work will have its distinct place. He stands at the frontier.' - George Steiner, The Times Literary Supplement
'Understanding Media is still the essential read on how the medium is, more and more, the message itself.' - Nicholas Lemann, Sunday Herald
'McLuhan sings of the furthest reaches of electronic culture, when computer technology has replaced language with instant nonverbal communication.' - Wired
