Wisdom Weavers: The Lives and Thought of Harold Innis and Marshall McLuhan

By: Tom Cooper

In the age of Artificial Intelligence, social media, and anti-social media, arguably the two thinkers who most alerted us to the real "influencers" of our day - the media and their predecessors - were the Canadian "wisdom weavers", Harold Innis and Marshall McLuhan. This book is the first to comprehensively chronicle their intertwined lives; heated, yet fertile relationship; controversial, inspirational thought; and worldwide legacies, which have increasing relevance to the vexing problems of our century. In so doing, this volume also serves as a cogent interpreter of our historical and current relationship with media, and a guide for how we may best employ technology and media literacy for pro-social, if not world-saving purposes.
