Forward Through The Rearview Mirror

The book is organized into four parts: "Global Village and Identity, Medium is the Message," and "Extensions of Man," In keeping with McLuhan's style of speaking and writing, the text consists of a series of brief entries, ranging in length from a single line to a page. The entries have been selected and positioned so that they can be read consecutively as a narrative or randomly as individual ideas. Throughout, the material by McLuhan appears in a different typeface and color from the material by others, to make the two clearly distinguishable. Part book, part magazine, part storyboard, this multidimensional look at the ideas and life of the patron saint of "Wired" magazine will appeal to anyone interested in technology, contemporary thought, and popular culture.
