Das Ende des Buchzeitalters im Econ Verlag, München. But for all the fluidity and scatteredness of his style, there's no doubting he's expressing some very interesting things. I've never been able to precisely describe what it is McLuhan did exactly because he was so singular. It wasn't easy to tell what was actually important and what wasn't. But at around 100 pages things start to come together and McLuhan's commentary on the implications of movable type and the book as commodity(and the role of the written word in the articulation of nations, sophisticated economies, globali. Whether you've loved the book or not, if you give your honest and detailed thoughts then people will find new books that are right for them. This is one of the shittiest crappy book I ever read.

Would not recommend to anyone. Chock full of ideas--so I give it four stars. This was a fun and inspiring book, and there were points at which I would have considered just giving it five stars despite some of its obvious flaws and the fact that it is quite dated. This and the fact that he doesn't very clearly explain things makes this a frustrating read. Download book The Gutenberg Galaxy: The Making of Typographic Man pdf The Gutenberg Galaxy: The Making of Typographic Man McLuhan, Marshall The Gutenberg Galaxy catapulted Marshall McLuhan to fame as a media theorist and, in time, a new media prognosticator. Goodreads helps you keep track of books you want to read. So, will we can walk without technology with our legs, the technology of a bike means we can have ‘better’ legs, a train means even more so, and a car more again – with each being a kind of improvement on our ‘legs’. It was one of those. It was one of those books where you understand all the words, but ultimately have no idea what the sentence they form actually says. San Francisco is a gold rush town. And it isn't even the book with that quotation! The only thing that is good in the book is the whole idea of stressing out the importance of technology for our perception of the world. It helped establish Marshall McLuhan as the original 'media guru.' Since its first appearance in 1962, the impact of The Gutenberg Galaxy has been felt around the world. Here's the guy who predicted (again, in the '60s) that color TV would have a great impact on sports viewing, in particular snow-related activities that are more visceral (X-Games, anyone?). Sorry, but I can’t even call it a book: it’s for the most part a bunch of citations and authors rather not well thought through ideas which can be refuted easily. Shelves: history, philosophy, language. It sometimes felt like I was reading the most enjoyable annotated bibliography ever, or a medieval text with glosses and super-glosses.
To see what your friends thought of this book, I wasn’t expecting this to be nearly as good as it was. Since its first appearance in 1962, the impact of The Gutenberg Galaxy has been felt around the world. In this he's called the original media guru, and that's an understatement. The frequent and exceedinlgy long quotes in small print helped only somewhat. What I'm learning is that McLuhan is a man of fantastic ideas and a writing style that I actually find intensely irritating.
You can write a book review and share your experiences. It was enough of a slog that I figured I'd muddle my way through it, but intersperse other books along the way, but no.
