Despite the fact that we've buried him prematurely like some madman in an Edgar Allen Poe story, Marshall McLuhan was, and is, one of the most brilliant and original thinkers of the 20th century.
McLuhan pioneered the study of Media, unified Art and Science, and warned us about this televised, computerized, famous-for-15-minutes world where we live in each other's faces, and become so alike, so isolated, so anonymous that violence becomes a scream of identity, a way of saying, "I am not invisible." McLuhan tried to teach us that and a thousand other things, but we did not listen. Hence, reality television.
In the wake of the centennial celebration of McLuhan's life and the re-release of his books, it is time to bring back the basics of his teachings. "McLuhan For Beginners "is full of wise and witty art by Susan Willmarth that is a perfect match to Terrence Gordon's writing and all culminates in a rich translation of McLuhan's examination of how media turned us into the Global Village.
