Description
"Laws of Media refines and expands Marshall McLuhan’s earlier media theories, introducing the "tetrad" as a framework for analyzing technological and media effects. The tetrad consists of four key questions: What does a medium enhance? What does it retrieve from the past? What does it reverse into when pushed to its limits? And what does it render obsolete? This book applies this model to various media forms, arguing that all technologies follow these universal laws, shaping perception, culture, and society. Co-authored with his son Eric McLuhan, the work serves as a systematic extension of Understanding Media."
