Editorial Reviews

From the "I can't believe this went out of print" file come two of McLuhan's signature titles. Though a lot of this may seem like freaky rantings from the Sixties (LJ 6/1/67 and LJ 11/1/68, respectively), many of McLuhan's observations on technology, violence, etc., still ring true.

Library Journal

These laws of media, which McLuhan calls “the tetrad,” can help one to understand and, perhaps, respond constructively to the new medium…. Some of the implications seem prophetic.
