Summary of Understanding Media by Marshall McLuhan Extensions of Man (In My Own Words)
Publisher Description
You've heard the expression, "The medium is the message." But what does that really mean? "The medium is the message" is a term coined by Marshall McLuhan in his book, Understanding Media: Extensions of Man. More than fifty years after it was published – in 1964 – Understanding Media reads as if it's from the future. In this Understanding Media summary, I'll break down – in my own words – why "The medium is the message," as well as other key ideas within this, one of the best media studies books. —David Kadavy
