Description

In 1965, Tom Wolfe famously asked of Marshall McLuhan: "Suppose he is the oracle of the modern times--what if he is right?" Fifty years later, McLuhan's biographer Douglas Coupland, McLuhan's sons, and sixteen scholars explore the many ways in which McLuhan's predictions have come true. 

Reviews
