"I have enjoyed greatly the second blooming that comes when you finish the life of the emotions and of personal relations; and suddenly find - at the age of fifty, say - that a whole new life has opened before you, filled with things you can think about, study, or read about...It is as if a fresh sap of ideas and thoughts was rising in you."
- Agatha Christie
(1890 - 1976),
An Autobiography,
1977

This is a biography of the cultural critic "who claimed that electronic technology in the mass media has reshaped and restructured the patterns of our social and private lives." (Libr J) Bibliography. Index.
| | | | From The Publisher
Some considered him the oracle of the electric age; others dismissed him as a charlatan. But many of his predictions are coming true with eerie accuracy. It's impossible to ignore such McLuhan phrases as "the global village" and "the medium is the message" as we surf the 'Net or pop a cassette into the VCR. His genius was in foreseeing such cultural upheavals - it is uncanny the impact his studies have had on the way we view the world. This fully revised and updated edition of the award-winning biographical classic traces the evolution of McLuhan's theories and is the key to understanding this enigmatic media guru.

Marchand presents new information about the man who coined the phrases "the medium is the message" and "global village." In doing so, he demonstrates the prescience of the work McLuhan produced over 30 years ago. "McLuhan was not so much a friend of this century as of the next. He was an ameliorist, a futurist, a prophet of hope. Nothing is inevitable, he said, if we understand what is happening"--from the Introduction
