Student Narrative

This book reinterprets Marshall McLuhan's seminal text, "The Medium is the Message." In this book I'm focusing on the tipping point at which society went from aural to visual interpretation, how our own medium of mass dissemination got away from under us, all the while implementing constructivist ideals to comment on censorship & religion.
