A review by erikars
War and Peace in the Global Village by Marshall McLuhan, Quentin Fiore

I picked this book up, along with Understanding Media (also by McLuhan) at a random book sale. I loved Understanding Media so I thought I would enjoy this one too. Instead, I barely understood it and thought it was wrong when I did understand it. I never really figured out what the authors' point was. There were interesting fragments of ideas, but there was something of a fundamental disconect between my understanding and what was on the page. That said, the book really has a great rhythm to it. I almost feel like I would have understood it better if I had listened to it. Perhaps that was the point.
