"While current scholarly interest has assured McLuhan's foundational status as media
theorist, it has by no means exhausted the import of his writings, which take on additional
layers in the current digital moment. This collection of essays argues that it was
McLuhan's confrontation of the bios that was the distinguishing feature of his media
theory and the source of its most consistent problematic. Holding that media were
extensions of the human, McLuhan also posited that the human was a product of technology.
'Remediating McLuhan' ranges over media theory, art history, bio-technology and deep
history in addressing this problematic, and discusses McLuhan in the context of Flusser
and Turing, Carl Woese and Daniel Lord Smail."--Page 4 of cover
