Abstract:
He was right. 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, his sons, and sixteen scholars explore the many ways in which McLuhan's predictions have come true. ; from back cover
