Concerned as it is with arts, it yet reflects [another] essential theme: The artist has the power to discern the current environment created by the latest technology. Ordinary human instinct causes people to recoil from these new environments and to rely on the rearview mirror as a kind of repeat or ricorso of the preceding environment, thus insuring total disorientation at all times (EDMUND FULLER, The Wall Street Journal) XX [This] is an anthology of poems and reproductions of paintings, with short comments suggested by McLuhan's theories and drawing attention wherever possible to the treatment of space: space being given the most elastic if not unlimited meaning. The main creative novelty in the book is the notion that in looking at some paintings the spectacular becomes the vanishing point (D. W. HARDING, The New York Review of Books) XX [An] attractive packaging of words and pictures. Both perform McLuhan's major public service: sounding the cry of Wake up! The future just arrived. This book, with its unique juxtapositions of pictures and texts and aphorisms and one-liners, points the way to a new and much more fruitful form of art history book. McLuhan inspires you to try to see and understand in a new way (TOM WOLFE, Book World).
