Marshall McLuhan wrote this book thirty years ago and following its publication predicted that the forthcoming information age would be \"a transitional era of profound pain and tragic identity quest.\" Marshall McLuhan illustrates the fact that all social changes are caused by introduction of new technologies. He interprets these new technologies as extensions or \"self-amputations of our own being,\" because technologies extend bodily reach. McLuhan's ideas and observations seem disturbingly accurate and clearly applicable to the world in which we live. \u003ci\u003eWar and Peace in the Global Village\u003c\/i\u003e is a meditation on accelerating innovations leading to identity loss and war. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eInitially published in 1968, this text is regarded as a revolutionary work for its depiction of a planet made ever smaller by new technologies. A mosaic of pointed insights and probes, this text predicts a world without centres or boundaries. It illustrates how the electronic information travelling around the globe at the speed of light has eroded the rules of the linear, literate world. No longer can there be fixed positions or goals.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 192\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.8 x 7 x 4.1 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 18, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52439707320627,"sku":"9781584237570","price":20.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/Z21pRlExU0VJUHhKdThlOEU1ZXM4dz09.webp?v=1758855276","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/war-and-peace-in-the-global-village-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
