Writing is an extension of our voice, cars of our legs, guns of our fists, telephones of our ears, televisions of our eyes…Marshall McLuhan considered all media to be technology that extended the human body. The arrival of a medium like writing can completely reorder social relations because it has the power to “shape and control the scale and form of human association and action.” McLuhan’s idea of extensions is arguably the beginning of modern media theory, but it is not without its limitations.

Editing and academic counsel from Erik Born, Jeremy Braddock, and Paul Fleming. Guests in this episode include professors Anna Shechtman, Andrew Campana, Jeremy Braddock, and Erik Born.
