摘要

The complexity and range of contemporary media culture was simply beyond the imaginative capabilities of any mid-twentieth century thinker. The seeming prescience of Jules Verne or George Orwell is notable because of the myriad writers and thinkers who missed the mark entirely when trying to predict what the world would look like in the future. Today there are avenues of communication that go beyond the wildest dreams of science-fiction writers from the last century and the ways in which these new technologies alter the way we interact were simply unforeseeable when Marshall McLuhan was writing his seminal works on media. The challenge of making McLuhan relevant to new generations is, as a result, not a small one. The seeming prescience of arguments like the extension of the central nervous system via electronic media or the emergence of the global village are interesting enough on their own, but the original writings may now feel like they are ruminations of a media landscape we have long since left behind. Jaqueline McLeod Rogers, Tracy Whalen, and Catherine G. Taylor certainly deserve a great deal of credit for producing Finding McLuhan: The Mind/The Man/The Message. The volume provides a sizable variety of investigations into different aspects of McLuhan's life and work and different perspectives on each avenue of inquiry.
