Title: Understanding? Nope....
Review: I'm afraid I must be a dolt; for, after reading this book with some attention and care, I find that none of its lessons has sunk in. I don't understand what the author was trying to say; I didn't come away from the book with any insights or comprehension that I hadn't gone into it with. The book is the origin of the famous phrase, "The medium is the message," and, while the author attempts to justify it at numerous points in the text, I never really feel that he has managed to make it clear.The book does not seem to follow the typical construction of a book of explanation: begin simply, build up to greater complexity, justifying each step, and end with a conclusion that follows from what has gone before. Instead, this book seems to wander about, making points as they may occur, but lacking a formal explanatory structure.
