The Gutenberg Galaxy catapulted Marshall McLuhan to fame as a media theorist and, in time, a new media prognosticator. Fifty years after its initial publication, this landmark text is more significant than ever before. Readers will be amazed by McLuhans prescience, unmatched by anyone since, predicting as he did the dramatic technological innovations that have fundamentally changed how we communicate. The Gutenberg Galaxy foresaw the networked, compressed global village that would emerge in the late-twentieth and twenty-first centuries despite having been written when black-and-white television was ubiquitous. This new edition of The Gutenberg Galaxy celebrates both the centennial of McLuhans birth and the fifty-year anniversary of the books publication. A new interior design updates The Gutenberg Galaxy for twenty-first-century readers, while honouring the innovative, avant-garde spirit of the original. This edition also includes new introductory essays that illuminate McLuhans lasting effect on a variety of scholarly fields and popular culture. A must-read for those who inhabit todays global village, The Gutenberg Galaxy is an indispensable road map for our evolving communication landscape.

Endlessly stimulating, informative, and liberating. -- The Observer Weekend Review The book that helped establish McLuhan as the original media guru. -- The New York Times Think of anything and you can now get your fill of multimedia feedback and facts at the press of a button. McLuhan saw this coming, and wrote about its impact on us as individuals and members of the global village in The Gutenberg Galaxy. Revisiting it is a revelation. -- Nigel Beale * The Guardian *
