Thanks for this prompt to read. My fave passage has to be this part from the section on "Medium is Message". 

Lots of food for thought in terms of understanding what are the implicit "messages" that underline the cultural products we consume, arising from the manner in which they organise and systematise information.

Thank you! I only had a cursory exposure to critical theory while in college, so this was a good opportunity to actually read some primary texts. Perhaps these are more relevant than ever before, as we are on the cusp on more paradigmatic shifts in consumer media.

hell yes! someone did it. huge tip for you when i get my allo tomorrow!!! 

this is very good selection.... I like Baudrillard's reading of McLuhan in general in this text and beyond. <3
