McMahon's key concerns-the relationships between culture, technology, environment and national identity-coalesce in this artful and sophisticated overview of Marshall McLuhan's background, ideas and insights. The guru of the electronic age, McLuhan formulated most of his groundbreaking theories working largely outside the bounds of proper scholarship; by the late 1960s, he was both revered and reviled, a jaunty provocateur and sage to some and an anarchistic technophobe to others. Structured around such central McLuhan concepts as pattern recognition and the four universal laws of media, McLuhan's Wake captures his unique and influential perspectives on the maelstrom of our media environment.
