Herbert Marshall McLuhan

Tom Wolfe described the book by Marshall McLuhan and Quentin Fiore "War and Peace in the Global Village (originally published 1968!) as "The psychological impact of technical innovation . . ." Marshall McLuhan was a visionary, but more importantly he had a psychological method. His work it is right on the Psybernet track.

McLuhan Quotes

"We now know too much to be strangers to each other. For example in the age of information explosion, all walls go out between age groups, between family groups, national groups, between economies. The walls all go out. People suddenly have to adjust themselves to this new proximity, this new interrelationship, and merely to tell them this has happened isn't very helpful. What they need to know is, if it is happening, what does it mean to me?"
