Douglas Coupland

Join us for this special event with Canadian multimedia artists and writer Douglas Coupland as he reads from and discusses his latest work, Marshall McLuhan: You Know Nothing of My Work!.
This work of non-fiction is a crackling and humorous look at Marshall McLuhan, the celebrated social who defined the culture of the 1960s and captured the sense of the emerging new world of global communication with his aphoristic slogan: “The medium is the message.” Coupland will discuss how half a century later, McLuhan’s predictions about the end of print culture and the rise of “electronic inter-dependence” have become a reality-in a sense, the reality-of our time.
