/The Medium is the Massage/is Marshall McLuhan's most condensed, and 
perhaps most effective, presentation of his ideas. Using a layout style 
that was later copied by/Wired/, McLuhan and coauthor/designer Quentin 
Fiore combine word and image to illustrate and enact the ideas that were 
first put forward in the dense and poorly organized/Understanding 
Media/. McLuhan's ideas about the nature of media, the increasing speed 
of communication, and the technological basis for our understanding of 
who we are come to life in this slender volume. Although originally 
printed in 1967, the art and style in/The Medium is the Massage/seem as 
fresh today as in the summer of love, and the ideas are even more 
resonant now that computer interfaces are becoming gateways to the 
global village.
