| Abstract | "This book argues that from literacy to digitality, access and control of the available media have arguably done the most to shape the course of knowledge. Fuller extends Marshall McLuhan's slogan, 'The medium is the message', reading the distinction between 'hot' and 'cool' media through the lens of sociologist Max Weber's 'prophetic' and 'priestly' religious voices, the former demanding that receivers complete the message, the latter that they conform to it. Historically and philosophically informed, while presenting provocative arguments that address today's concerns, this book considers future developments of the media and its far-reaching implications for the human condition"-- Provided by publisher. |
