The fuck did I just read?

One of the most important theoretical works of the past century

A highly influential, albeit dated, analysis of technology's effects on man, specifically in the wake of the postwar economic boom. It's good, OP, give it another shot

Marshall McLuhan - Understanding Media: The Extensions of Man

>>9595467
Actually, I really enjoyed it, but I think I understood 20% or so. I will reread it, but I want to read another McLuhan's works before.

What would you recomend me? Besides The medium is the massage.

What do you think?

Medium is the message is his most important work though.

You mean massage? It's pretty shitty and not very substantial. It's just a hodgepodge of pics and quotes. Understanding Media is his best, and most important.

I get you. I'm really interested in his ideas, but his writing style has always been weird and indigestible. Definitely plan giving it another shot.

Loose ramblings with a lot of self-contradiction and a clear lack of organization, but that stumbles upon brilliant insight along the way.

everyone listen to this guy. he's right. medium is the massage is best viewed as a work of modern art or something.
