Fig. 1. The Gutenberg Galaxy - Marshall McLuhan (courtesy of Amazon and a US bookseller)
Like visiting a library, having a book as an object in my hand, a singular artifact rather than its substance digitised, feels like a visit to a National Trust property. There's meaning in it, but that way it's packaged is all a bit 'historic'.
Mosaic – kaleidoscope – environment – constellation…
I'm getting more and more fascinated with McLuhan's ideas.
