The Medium is the Massage

Last week, while bouncing from airport to airport on Christmas day, I managed to read The Medium is the Massage in its entirety.

The book is what you might consider “experimental literature.” From page to page, layout, style and meaning change to go along with the ideas being addressed by Marshall McLuhan and Quentin Fiore. The subject matter is the philosophy of print and other types of modern media and how they relate to human psychology, education and the modern development of our society.

I ran through this one so quickly that I don’t have much insight to provide, other than to say that I enjoyed it thoroughly and wish I had written down half the book as quotes. I should probably get my own copy of the book and do that eventually.
