{"product_id":"the-medium-is-the-massage","title":"The Medium is the Massage","description":"30 years after its publication Marshall McLuhan's The Medium is the Massage remains his most entertaining, provocative and piquant book.\nWith every technological and social advancement, McLuhan's proclamation that \"the media work us over completely\" becomes more evident and plain. In his words, so pervasive are they in their personal, political, economic, aesthetic, psychological, moral, ethical and social consequences that they leave no part of us untouched, unaffected, or unaltered.\nMcLuhan suggests modern audiences enjoy MainStream media as soothing, enjoyable, and relaxing; however, the pleasure we find in the MainStream media is deceiving, because\/as\/since the changes between society and technology are incongruent, perpetuating an Age of Anxiety.\nMcLuhan's remarkable observation that \"societies have always been shaped more by the nature of the media by which men communicate than by the content of the communication\" is undoubtedly more relevant today than ever before. With the rise of the internet and the explosion of the digital revolution there has never been a better time to revisit Marshall McLuhan.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1584230703\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.1584230703.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:McLuhan, Marshall|Fiore, Quentin\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Pages are clean with no markings.
