The Medium is the Massage is a well-known book by Marshall McLuhan devoted to the relationship between media, technology and the way we perceive information. If you are interested in how different means of communication can influence society and our habits in handling information, this book may be an engaging read for you.

This title offers reflections and examples on the topic of media messages and their impacts. The author develops the idea that the medium (the method of transmission) can be as significant for our perception and behavior as the content itself.
