Part one of a series centred on Marshall Mcluhan. In this first episode, I go over some biographical details and Mcluhan's thesis.

“He had a mind that could only think in metaphors.”

-Norman Mailer, on Marshall Mcluhan

“The great alchemists…were grammarians. From the time of the Neo-Platonists and Augustine to Bonaventure and to Francis Bacon, the world was viewed as a book, that lost language of which was analogous to that of human speech.”

-Marshall Mcluhan
